teen artist

For those in grades 8-12 | No reservations required 

Join your fellow artists every third Thursday of the month at our Teen Art Meet!  Get away from it all to paint, draw, sculpt or experiment with new media every month at a laid back, artsy hangout.  You'll enjoy music, novel art supplies and a space to share and exchange with other young artists.  Feel free to bring your own supplies and projects - this studio time is completely self-guided!

Thursday, December 11

For Grades 8-12 | 3:30 PM | The Hollow

Spend a cozy afternoon at the library decorating cookies! We’ll show you how to make frosting, then you can design your own sweet creations. Take home your cookies to enjoy or share — either way they will be delicious.

Registration is not required, but space is limited, so be sure to get there as close to start time as you can.
