Main Character Complex 

Librería Donceles brings together hundreds of second-hand books published in recent decades. Each book has a unique title and cover–elements that were carefully created to communicate the books' content to potential readers at a glance.

Imagine yourself writing the story of your life: your future memoir. In 10, 20, or 30 years, what do you want your life's story to have been most shaped by? What pivotal plot points and enthralling throughlines would you emphasize? Design a book cover for this story. Select a title for your memoir and draw your book’s cover on the paper provided.

Seeking inspiration? Immerse yourself in Librería Donceles. If you fall in love with a book (or simply a cover), take it home on a pay-what-you-wish basis!

Drop-in, Self-Guided Art Activity

Throughout the year, WAM presents self-guided art-making activities inspired by an art piece, exhibition, or artist from the museum's collection. Everything you need to make your own masterpiece is provided and the activity is designed to be accessible and open to all. Drop-in during open hours and get creative! 

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Additional general operating support is generously provided by Ameriprise Financial.
