Recycled Art

One person’s trash is another person’s treasure! Look around you for inspiration and exercise your creativity while reducing, reusing and recycling everyday materials. Join us on Saturday, January 22 at 3 p.m. at Haggard Library for a Recycled Portraits program. Explore your artistic talents and customize a brown paper bag with your own self-portrait. Tickets for this all-ages, in-person program will be available 30 minutes before the program starts.
