Harley-Davidson part of library exhibits
Two exhibits are on display through the end of June at the Coos Bay Public Library, 525 W. Anderson Ave.
Mike Quinn loaned the library Harley-Davidson memorabilia for its display in the library lobby.
Quinn is a long-time collector of motorcycle memorabilia and products including Harley- Davidson motorcycles. Many of his motorcycles were exhibited at Coos Art Museum in 2001 as part of a special exhibit.
Pieces from Quinn’s wide-ranging collection in the library exhibit include encased models of Harley gas tanks, which were, for a short period of time, given away to Harley customers. Books on motorcycle subjects also are part of the exhibit.
Selections from three series of paintings by local artist Clayton Redwood are on display in the library. The three series are entitled “Whispers,” ”Wanderers,” and “Watchers.” Redwood’s work primarily consists of acrylic abstracts and landscape realism. The paintings exhibited at the library lie somewhere between these two extremes, a press release said.
The exhibits can be seen free of charge during regular library open hours. For more information, those interested can call Coos Bay Public Library at 269-1101.
