The Studio is starting a brand new art project and needs everyones' help!

Come to the Summer Kick-Off party and have some fun splattering paint on a giant canvas. We will provide covers, gloves, and a wash up station to prevent the mess from going home with you. 
Throw, stomp, wipe, and smear paints to your heart's content! We are excited about everyone helping us out. 

Make sure to check the canvas out again at the end of summer to see how it transforms from splatters into a mural for the Library!
