On Saturday from 5 - 9 p.m., Hardy & Nance Studios will present Banned: Art Inspired by Banned Books. In it, more than 30 artists will display their works that draw inspiration from across the boards for illicit literature.
As the saying goes,"Reading is fundamental."

"Robin approached me about collaborating for the banned book show. He suggested we do something based off of Orwell’s," Anthony said. "Robin and I sat down together and reviewed several banned book lists. Many of these books are being banned for issues related to the LGBTQ community, religious views, political views, and sexuality. We did not have an idea as to how to approach any of these topics on canvas.

The Houston Public Library has a policy, in fact, that they don't ban books.The Houston Public Library's Deputy Assistant Director of Library Materials, Patrick Atkins, was able to provide a quote on the subject matter.
