Centro Modern Furnishings at 4727 McPherson has a small selection of simply fabulous repurposed book art on view that will be auctioned off at a AIGA party at Central Library next Friday. More than 40 artists have contributed to the event benefiting the St. Louis Public Library Foundation. Discovered: An Art Party with a Cause caps off AIGA's STL Design Week 13. AIGA is the professional organization for communication design.
