Community Art Project

1/4/2021

We want to create a Community Art Project and need your help! Stop in to pick up a puzzle piece to make into your own piece of art. Paint (acrylic, oil, watercolor...), collage, use mixed media, 2D, 3D, or whatever you'd like on your piece. When we have them all collected, we will mount them and display our Community Art in the library for all to see. Pieces due back by February 1.
