Kids can learn about graffiti without getting in trouble for vandalism the next time our Fine Arts Club meets!
Our club uses history and hands-on activities to explore different artforms – from ballet to costume design to watercolor painting – on the first Tuesday of each month. In May, the young artists will create their own “graffiti tags” using markers. (No spray paint, sorry.)
The Fine Arts Club will meet at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7, at our Main Branch. It’s open to all children from ages seven to 12. The program is free to attend. Due to limited space, registration is required. Sign up online or call us at 440-255-8811 ext. 3.
