The Lewiston Public Library, in partnership with ArtVan, plans to offer art programs in the Children’s Department for children ages 5-14 on the second and fourth Wednesday every month.
The programs start at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 13 and continue through Dec. 27 at the 200 Lisbon St. library. Children aged 5-8 must be accompanied by an adult.
ArtVan is a mobile art program that brings hands-on creative art opportunities for self-expression, personal growth and fun. All its projects aim to inspire art-making with a variety of materials to explore.
The programs engage all age groups, encourage time outside and reduce screen time, help youth stay connected, diminish stress, and provide release for unvented expressions of emotions, such as loss and confusion, according to a news release from the library.
Make Art with ArtVan is free, open to the public, and no registration is required. All art supplies will be provided.
