Create a piece for our tiny art show coming to the South Valleys Library this May. This exhibit will be a collection of paintings on small, four inch square, library-provided canvases. People of all ages are welcome to contribute to the show.
You can join us in person and use our supplies to make your tiny art piece at one of these events:
Or you can pick up a small canvas to complete at home (while supplies last). Canvases must be returned to the South Valleys Library by Monday, April 29, to appear in the show. |
