Have you ever looked at an art project and thought "I could do that," but you in fact could not do that? Let your creativity flow without worrying about an end product!

This Awful Artworks will be all about creating a piece of art based on nature! Join us for an exploration of art in all its forms! We will provide the art materials (if you have art supplies gathering dust, bring them to share), you provide the creativity. Each piece created will have a tag with the name of the art, the artist, and a brief description of the piece. All art will have the opportunity to be displayed in the library. 

For accessibility accommodations, please contact us at least 2 weeks before the event. 410-535-0291.
