The Wayne Public Library opened its Mini Art Exhibition work on March 1 in the entryway display cabinet.
The library placed a call for artists at the beginning of February, asking for artwork from all ages of community members. The exhibits are no larger than 3 x 3 inches. Free artist's kits were available for pick up to create artworks with, which included a tiny canvas, paints, and air dry clay.
Patrons were also welcome to create art with their own mediums if they preferred. The Friends of the Wayne Public Library generously funded the artist kits distributed.
Adult Services Librarian Sharon Carr coordinates this program.
“As someone who has an art background and regularly creates art, this is one of my favorite programs to make happen for our community. I love seeing what people decide to do with a limited amount of space to work with. The creativity and talent in Wayne is impressive and inspiring," she said.
The exhibit is in its second year of existence. Although artworks were due back to the library by March 1, late work will still be accepted until mid-March.
Anyone who has a tiny piece of art to display is encouraged to drop it off at the library with a name and a contact number to become one of the featured artists.
Artworks will also be featured online via the library’s social media sites. Find the artwork online at the library’s Flowcode page: www.flowcode.com/page/waynenelibrary.
