Services for Teens

From June 9 through June 30, visit the library to pick up a tiny canvas (for a family or for an individual) to create your very own masterpiece. Use your imagination and whatever supplies you have at home to create a one-of-a-kind work of art for display in the library. Return your completed work of art by June 30: include the Title of the work, name(s) and age(s) of the artist(s), and a brief description on the included notecard. Kids, teens, and adults are all invited to participate. 

The Tiny Art Show will be displayed at the library July 1-19. Art may be collected from the library during open hours from July 21-26. Artwork that is not picked up by July 28 will be disposed of. 

Rules & guidelines: 

• All artwork must be on a 4×4 canvas and able to be displayed on an easel or flat against a wall.
• Other than food, all materials are welcome to be used in the creation of your art.
• Artwork and the titles of the artwork must be appropriate for all ages.
• Library staff reserves the right to reject any art that does not follow these guidelines.

• All entries may be reproduced for public distribution, displayed in the library, and posted to the library's social media channels and website. The Mount Horeb Public Library may use each participant's name, design, and photo for publicity purposes.

You'll find the sweet spot of tackiness, glitter and total uselessness. This is a no-pressure creative environment, so come and try it out! You literally cannot fail.
