By Benita VanCleave, Library Corner – Empowering individuals to build a stronger community
“Create! Art Fest!” What a perfect way to kick off a summer reading program with the theme of “Color Our World.” An all-age event, everyone is invited to join us on the library lawn for an opportunity to do hands-on activities with real artists! Representatives from Taubman Museum and the Children’s Gallery (a new maker studio and exhibition gallery for kids in Roanoke) will be on hand to assist the budding artists. Other local artists will display and talk about their art and there will be many fun art activities. Rain or shine, the event will go on. In case of rain, activities will be moved inside the library.
Tiny Art Show Will Return!
Ages 5 and up are invited to participate once again in the Salem Library’s Annual Tiny Art Show! Free tiny art kits are available to pick up at the library starting Saturday, June 7th. Return your artwork by July 12 and then attend our Art Show Reception July 19th from 12-2pm on Saturday, July 19.
