2 days agoThe Brooklyn Public Library now lets you borrow works of art for a three-week period
The art-lending program launches alongside "Department of Transformation: Letters for the Future," a sprawling, brain-sparky exhibition opening November 3 in the Central Library's Grand Lobby and second floor and running through January 25, 2026. Curated by the artist-organized collective Department of Transformation with BPL Presents, the show includes more than 40 artists and collectives working across painting, sculpture, performance, video, books and zines. Think of it as a library-meets-gallery-meets-workshop-meets-karaoke fever dream, designed to get New Yorkers thinking, reading and imagining together.
