The Friends of the Interlaken Public Library invite you to the Interlaken Masonic Lodge upstairs hall for an evening talk by Paleo-artist John Gurche.
A published author, former anthropology professor, and current artist-in-residence at the Museum of the Earth, John is regarded as one of the foremost artists reconstructing human ancestors in the world.
His work has been featured in publications, television specials, and museums around the world, including seven National Geographic covers, USPS postal stamps, and more. He was commissioned by Steven Spielberg to create the artwork that inspired the Jurassic Park dinosaurs.
Come learn about John’s work on the movie Jurassic Park (1993) and his present work on early human ancestor reconstruction. Q&A to follow.
What we do...
What we do...
We are a non-profit group that raises funds for the Interlaken Public Library. We donate 80% of all revenue directly to the library. Municipal libraries, like the Interlaken Public Library, need support from Friends groups to supplement the small budget they receive from local taxes. As municipalities, libraries like these can not do any direct fundraising themselves. Funds raised by the Friends of IPL have helped contribute to the almost 300 programs at the Library each year. That's why Friends are so important!
