Phoenix Public Library, Phoenix, AZ. -- November 06, 2012 -- Burton Barr Central Library will host a group exhibit of mixed media artwork, titled "The Language of Silence," Nov. 8 - Jan. 11 at the library's @Central Gallery, 1221 N. Central Ave. The artists will host an opening reception 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 8.

Working primarily in mixed media, Barbara Crisp, Mindi L. Headrick, Cara McAneny and Diane L. Silver explore that which is often concealed, resting out of sight.
