Union Public Library is excited to host its first-ever TinyArtShow! Community members ages 5 and up (school-aged children, teens, and adults) are invited to join. Participants are encouraged to create artwork that reflects this year’s Summer Reading Program theme, Oceans of Possibilities! Pick up a kit containing a 4″ x 4″ canvas, a watercolor set, and an entry form from Main Library or Vauxhall Library starting on Monday, June 6, while supplies last. Participants must submit their completed artwork to either library by Friday, July 1 if they would like it to be displayed. Artwork will be featured above the bookshelves at our Main Library throughout July and August. Please contact Emily at emacleod@uplnj.org if you have any questions.
