I received the KADI grant which enabled me to partner with the Kalamazoo Public Library, Zhang Legacy Collection, and the Ladies’ Library Association to present first- ever displays of late 19th century stereographs (3D photos), while also bringing people to these great community centers. I’m so grateful to the Arts Council for making it possible!
