Hive+EPL receive National Endowment for the Arts BIG READ grant!

We’re SO EXCITED to announce that Hive Center for the Book Arts and the Evanston Public Library have received a NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS Big Read Grant!

With this grant, our EPL+Hive partnership will deepen and grow---we're partnering to bring A Year of Joy and Gratitude programming all across Evanston, inspired by Ross Gay's Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude.

We'll be making paper, creating poetry, reading the book, and other fantastic things! Additionally, EPL will have other related programming as well, September-June! AND we’ll have a culminating exhibition in June 2025. We can’t wait to share this excitement with you all!

Come be JOYFUL with us!
