    Houston Arts Alliance presents Elaine Bradford - Pachikadi and His Flying Friends: Civic Artwork Dedication at Vinson Neighborhood Library, Tuesday, September 13, 3pm-5pm.

    Commissioned by Houston Arts Alliance on behalf of Houston Public Library and the Health and Human Services Department, Elaine Bradford’s whimsical installation for the Vinson Neighborhood Library consists of a life-sized, crochet-covered Asian elephant that spews colorful yarn sweaters from its trunk onto nine Canadian geese suspended from the ceiling.

    Join us for the dedication and celebration of this artwork.

    Speaking at the dedication will be:

    • Dr. Rhea Brown Lawson, Houston Public Library Director
    • Jonathon Glus, Houston Arts Alliance CEO
    • Elaine Bradford, Artist

    The installation tells a story about geese wanting a little more color in their lives, and a fantastical elephant that lends them yarn from its own vibrant sweater. Bradford draws inspiration from children's stories such as those of Dr. Seuss, Hans Christian Andersen and Lewis Carroll.

    The installation is an entry point for viewers not only to the library, but also into a world of imagination. It will lead them to explore books, nature, their own creativity and the larger Houston community.
