Tiny Art Show In-Person
Tiny Art Show – All Ages: Saturday, August 9 from 10:00 to 2:00
Create a work of art no larger than 3 inches x 3 inches in all directions and submit it to the library beginning July 28.
All mediums are strongly encouraged! You could create a tiny crocheted or knitted piece, or make a small sculpture, or submit a tiny photograph – as long as your art is no bigger than 3 inches in all directions!
For those who wish to create painted/drawn art, the library has tiny canvases available on a first come, first served basis; these will be available at the circulation desk and the children's desk beginning on Thursday, July 24.
Please register here so that we can have a sense of how many artists will be participating. In addition, when you drop off your art we will ask you to fill in a submission form so that we can give proper attribution for all artworks. (Paper forms will be available at the library, or you can access the form here.)
Tiny Art will be on display in Volunteers Hall from 10:00 to 2:00 on August 9.
