Library Community Art Project

We need your help!! The Yorkville Public Library is hosting four creative sessions by age group (adults, teens, kids, and all ages) to allow each participant to decorate one piece of a collage that will be assembled by local artists to create one (large) piece of community art in the library. Each group will be given pieces of the collage and the medium for that group. They will also receive instructions on how to proceed. Don’t worry, you do not need to be an artist to participate. If you can color, you can do this! Come create your piece of the project! Please note the dates for each age group. While this is a free event, registration is required, and space is limited. Registration can be found for each age group on the Yorkville Public Library Calendar of Events at https://bit.ly/YPLCalendarofEvents.
