Library Exhibit: "Drawn to Art" - Our first Library exhibit of 2010 will be
a real first for us: a “no color” exhibit that will feature drawings in graphite
(pencil), pen and ink and charcoal only. Toned paper may be used.
Most art begins with a drawing, but as we all know, that simple beginning can be
a beautiful piece of art in itself – and that is the challenge. No wonderful color
this time; use your creativity and imagination to make your drawing sing!
This exhibit will be judged, and a reception and presentation of awards will
be held in the Library on Thursday, March 4, from 5:30-7:00. Click here
