4TH ANNUAL LEWISTON/AUBURN COMMUNITY READ: ART EXHIBIT PARTICIPATION
We are inviting all ages to come to the Lewiston Public Library and create your own artwork inspired by Where Are You From? by author Yamile Saied Méndez for the 4th annual Lewiston/Auburn Community Read. The Community Read initiative is in partnership with the Lewiston and Auburn Public Schools and the City of Lewiston. This initiative would not be possible this year without the support and sponsorship from The Friends of the Lewiston Public Library. We are celebrating art since this year’s community read is a picture book. We are inviting all ages to come to the Lewiston Public Library and create your own artwork inspired by Where Are You From? by author Yamile Saied Méndez. All artwork will then be displayed at the Community Art Exhibition in Callahan Hall on Saturday, May 11th at 11am. Come and see your artwork among many others from both cities along with art displays from each of the Lewiston Public Elementary schools. To participate, visit Callahan Hall during the open hours listed below to create your own watercolor painting or clay sculpture. Wednesday, May 8th & Thursday, May 9th 9:30AM – 1:30PM Along with your artwork submission, indicate where you are from on the world map and add your chosen piece of yarn to the loom where we will be creating our very own Lewiston/Auburn woven tapestry. This program is free and open to the public. There is no registration and all art supplies will be provided.
