The Arrowhead Library System (ALS) will be providing Acrylic Painting Take & Create Art Kits to member public libraries to distribute March 1-31, 2022. 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 for beginners and one for advanced painters, one 11 x 14 stretched canvas, one 9 x 12 canvas board, one sheet of mixed media paper, and one paint kit that contains a drawing pencil, two brushes, and 12 tubes of acrylic paint. A follow-along instructional video will be shared online for participants. It will include simple instructions and tips on using paint, canvas, and brushes. Each kit will include enough supplies for three paintings, so participants have multiple options to practice and/or 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.
