Join us for a special panel discussion with artists featured in the current ReflectSpace exhibition.

Join us for an artist panel discussion in conjunction with the current exhibition on view at ReflectSpace, Embracing Diasporic Art: Portraits of Joan Agajanian Quinn. Former Director of USC Dornsife Institute of Armenian Studies Salpi Ghazarian will moderate a discussion with exhibition artists Gregory Wiley Edwards, Yolanda Gonzalez, Anna Kostanian, Aram Saroyan, and Hraztan Zeitlian.

Embracing Diasporic Art: Portraits of Joan Agajanian Quinn at ReflectSpace presents thirty-five original portraits of Quinn made by diasporic, immigrant, and culturally diverse artists. Selected from Quinn’s personal art collection and archive of over three hundred works, the exhibition highlights a distinct part of each artists’ unique story and how they capture Quinn’s vital and enduring presence.

This event is part of the Week of Armenian Genocide Commemorative Events and will take place in the library's auditorium on the second floor.

Embracing Diasporic Art is on view through May 23, 2025. For more information, visit ReflectSpace.org.

About the library

Established in 1906.

Library services in Glendale were first provided in 1906. The women of the Tuesday Afternoon Club, a social and philanthropic organization, raised money through a series of lectures to fund a library collection. The library opened in a renovated pool room at Third and E (Wilson and Everett) Streets with seventy books, soon supplemented by a State Traveling Library of fifty more, and served a population of 1,186.

In 1907, the City Trustees passed Ordinance 53 which established and supported a library which "...shall be forever free to the inhabitants and nonresident taxpayers of the City of Glendale..." The first year the library had 251 books, 165 registered patrons, and a budget of $248.88.

In 1913, a Carnegie grant of $12,500 made possible the construction of the main library at Kenwood and Fifth (Harvard Street). The building was completed and dedicated November 13, 1914.
