Permanent Exhibition

Dryer Lint Angels

The first permanent installation of Capezzuti's work, three giant dryer lint Angels, can be found in the Carnegie Library of Homestead.   These three sculptures fly overhead in the main staircase thanks to a commission from the Good Grief Center, a new non-profit organizations offering bereavement support to the community.
