Jennifer Todd, WLCSD Elementary Art Department Chairperson explained that working together with the township and the library on the exhibition is beneficial in several ways. We had approximately 800 plus visitors the last time we held it.” The DDA’s role is to coordinate the event with both “art educators and the library” as well as to promote the event. This year’s exhibition is important because it’s the first in-person one after the pandemic. Mirkin explained, “The art teachers select the artwork to be displayed and they use the main conference room and most of the central area of the library…. Downtown Development Authority (DDA).” When the district and township originally started to work together, the exhibit took place in the township hall, he said, but “when the new community library opened in 2017, we moved the display over there.” Jose Mirkin, chair of the Commerce Township DDA’s public relations committee, said, “Since 2013 this art exhibition has been a coordinated activity between Walled Lake Schools and the Commerce Twp. Scott added that the library has been a rewarding upgrade in allowing access and opportunity for members of the community to access information and entertainment in an “elegant and far more centralized location”.The WLCSD Art Exhibition will be displayed from May 20- May 28 during regular business hours in the Commerce Township Community Library.Īfter appearing virtually since the pandemic started, Walled Lake Consolidated School District’s K-12 Art Exhibition will be back in person this month. “I look forward to visiting the Commerce Township Library for years to come.”

“Libraries play a critical role in providing the resources necessary for vibrant communities,” said Kowall. Kowall said the library’s dedication will be an important event for the township.
