Cardiello Art Garage @ the Library
January 11, 2017 (Helena, MT)—Explore your artistic side at a creative and informational program @ Your Lewis & Clark Library! Join us on Tuesday, January 31st at 7PM, for the “Cardiello Art Garage” where participants will learn how to make art a part of their life in the New Year during this interactive discussion.
Discover the therapeutic side of art as you learn about Theresa Cardiello’s Art Garage and then explore your own creative process with a make n’ take project. Adult Services Librarian Suzanne Schwichtenberg explains that “participants don’t need to be “artists,” they just need to come with a willing spirit and they leave with their own creation.”
The program is free, but participants need to register by visiting the Library’s Information Desk or calling 447-1690.
