“A Bit of Everything” by artist Misha Kahn receives Public Design Commission (PDC) Award of Excellence

BKSK is thrilled to announce that we have received a Public Design Commission (PDC) Award of Excellence for “A Bit of Everything,” an exhibition by artist Misha Kahn, to be showcased at the Douglaston-Little Neck Queens Public Library.

The exhibition features a distinctive blend of art and design. As a child, Misha Kahn was inspired by his own experiences visiting the local public library: “I would wander through the seemingly endless rows of stacks and pick up unexpected books to discover new stories, histories, and characters. For me, the library was a safe space, a community center and grounds for discovery all in one. I think the element of surprise and unexpected discovery is the part that really gives a library its true magic.” His new creation “A Bit of Everything” aims to capture this essence by using shapes that evoke aspects of the community and forms inspired by the stories and information contained within the library.

Congratulations to the entire design team, as we look forward to watching the project come to life!
