Join artist Michael Meredith at our local libraries for a free painting workshop!
This program is part of a series The Book as Art and Self Expression: Creating Your Story which is designed to bring in professional artists, writers and musicians as instructors to the public at our libraries. The series of programs, if attended in totality, will lead participants through creating and binding their own book and then writing and illustrating it. These programs are informed and inspired by the revolutionary voices of our founding fathers.
This program is FREE and open to the public |Ages 16+
Registration is required and space is limited. To register for this program, click here.
If your plans change, please use the cancel feature to make your spot available for someone on the waiting list. These programs are being repeated on different dates/times at our other library locations so if this time no longer works for you, please check if one of the other sessions may meet your needs.
Participation in the prior programs is not required, but those who have done so should bring their book to each session.
This project was supported, in part, by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250)
