The Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library has added art on the east-side windows facing Sixth Street, and a sculpture on the south side of the building facing Avenue A.
Local artist Crystal Tretbar created 12 art pieces that were transformed into window coverings conveying various qualities ranging from happy to energized. Library Public Information Specialist Kevin Tengesdal created two digital art pieces to accompany Tretbar’s collection.
“Anyone passing by on Sixth Street will be treated to a visual experience that connects them to not only the library but the community,” Library Director Christine Kujawa said. “The window coverings are attractive and engaging works of art that transform the exterior of the library into a vibrant art gallery.”
The Friends of the Bismarck Public Library funded the project.

The Bismarck Library Foundation funded the sculpture. Tengesdal created the design that incorporates the library’s logo.
“I experimented with a few different ideas before settling on a design that features books soaring through the air to form our logo’s star,” he said.
