MADISON, WI ~ Madison Public Library is gearing up for its final celebration of its 150th anniversary in 2025 with a unique art show. The exhibition, titled 150 Artists x 150 Years, will showcase the library's rich history and its strong connections to the local art community.
The Bubbler, a program launched by Madison Public Library in 2013, has been instrumental in bringing together the library and the arts community. Through residencies, workshops, and exhibitions, The Bubbler has fostered a creative and collaborative environment for artists to showcase their work.
For this milestone exhibition, 150 artists have been invited to participate. Each artist was assigned a specific year from the library's history (1875-2025) and asked to create an artwork inspired by a word that was first recorded or added to the dictionary during that year. This unique concept has resulted in a diverse collection of innovative and thought-provoking pieces that reflect the evolution of language over the past 150 years.
According to Head Bubblerarian Trent Miller, this exhibition is not only a celebration of the library's history but also a glimpse into what is possible for the future. "Language can be a snapshot into a moment in history," said Miller. "But it also serves as a creative springboard for what we can achieve together in the future."

The exhibition will be held at seven Madison Public Library locations starting from November 15th. These locations include Alicia Ashman, Central, Goodman South Madison, Hawthorne, Meadowridge, Pinney, and Sequoya Libraries. Visitors can pick up a printed guide at any of these locations which will provide information about each artist's name, their assigned year, and their inspiration word.
To kick off this special exhibition, Madison Public Library will be hosting two final gatherings at Central Library in December. These events will celebrate not only the art show but also the library's impact on the community over the past 150 years. Library Director Tana Elias expressed her gratitude towards the community for their support and emphasized the library's role as a hub of culture, art, and community.
The public is invited to attend these gatherings and interact with the artists while enjoying hands-on art activities for all ages. It will be a fitting end to a year-long celebration of Madison Public Library's 150th anniversary.
As the final event of this historic year, 150 Artists x 150 Years is a testament to the library's commitment to creativity, literacy, and community. It showcases the library's strong connections to the local arts scene and its impact on shaping language over the past 150 years. This exhibition is not one to be missed by anyone who appreciates art, history, and the power of words.
