Over 100 years after the Athenaeum’s official seal was introduced, Athena’s status at the Providence Athenaeum remains unassailable. During a year-long investigation into the history of the Athenaeum’s visual identity, Androski and Rye pulled open drawers both literal and metaphorical to reveal just how Athena, and all of her compatriots (her Owls, the Raven, and even the building itself) have shaped our impressions of, and engagement with, this place we know so well. Join us for a visual scavenger hunt through the clues that informed Androski’s and Rye’s redesign of the Athenaeum’s visual identity—from the adaptation of the seal to the forthcoming website—and towards an understanding of just what “Freeing Athena” represents for the Athenaeum’s next 100 years.
