ART ROOM AT THE LIBRARY
Astoria Visual Arts is excited to announce the return of Art Room at the Library, a free art program designed to give local youth hands-on creative time in a welcoming, low-pressure environment. Sessions are held on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month in the newly renovated Flag Room at the Astoria Public Library, located at 450 10th Street. Creative Play is for families with kids of all ages to make art together. Art Lab is for older kids, teens and pre-teens, to make guided projects in a supportive environment. All classes are free and drop in.
Meet the instructors, Keri Domer, D Valenzuela and Karrin Carlson here!
