Art Lab

Mindful creative visual arts learning for adults

Presented by Hillsborough branch librarian Jen Sulligan

Libraries are open-minded environments that actively encourage and assist with exploration and learning. Art is something that becomes easily overlooked in a technology and science-driven world.  Art Lab expands access to the arts and reminds people of the joy that creative endeavors can bring. Skills-based arts learning, in a socially supportive environment, yields multiple benefits for adult learners... the arts are good for you! 

Supplies: All supplies will be provided by the library, no need to bring your own. Also, creating art can be messy, so please keep that in mind when choosing the clothing you will wear to the program. 

Schedule: Be sure to register for each date you wish to attend. 

June 14: Jean-Michel Basquiat and Neo-Expressionism (to celebrate Pride and Caribbean-American Heritage Month)

July 12: Painting Luscious Treats àla Wayne Thiebauld (to celebrate the Summer Reading theme "All Together Now)

August 2: Botanical Art and Anna Atkins (watercolors and ink)

About the instructor: Jen Sulligan earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from The College Of New Jersey with concentrations in studio art, art education, and art therapy. She also holds an the Educational Services certificate from the New Jersey Department of Education.
