Mountain Iron, MN, September 26, 2023- The Arrowhead Library System (ALS) will be providing Acrylic Painting Take & Create Art Kits to member public libraries to distribute October 1-31, 2023. This art experience has been designed by 321 Art Studio in Chisholm and explores acrylic painting for beginners and more advanced participants. Take & Create Art Kits will include supplies to create two unique pictures – one round stretched canvas, three 4 x 4 inch canvas panels to create a triptych, and an acrylic paint set with brush. Two follow-along instructional videos will be shared online for participants – one for the round canvas painting and one for the trip-tych painting. Both videos include simple instructions and tips on using paint, canvas, and brushes. Each kit will include enough supplies for two paintings or more, so participants have multiple options to practice and create something of their own. Kits will be distributed at the following public libraries and ALS outreach locations:
Duluth Public Library
Ely Public Library
Grand Marais Public Library
Silver Bay Public Library
Two Harbors Public Library
Arrowhead Library System Bookmobile
Arrowhead Library System Mail-A-Book
(*patrons must qualify for Mail-A-Book services, kit may be modified in order to deliver by mail)
This program is geared towards tweens, teens, and adults. Please note each location has a limited number of kits – feel free to contact your local library for more information.
This program, sponsored by Arrowhead Library System, was funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. To learn more about Arrowhead Legacy Events, please see the calendar at www.alslib.info or like them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/alslibinfo.
