The Darien Arts Center together with the Darien Library is participating in Draw On! Goes Green, a community drawing festival presented by the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. All are invited to join educators from the Darien Arts Center (darienarts.org) for a special drop-in community art project at the Darien Library on Friday, March 21st from 11am to 7pm. Participants are invited to use discarded dictionary pages to inspire one of a kind drawings, doodles and designs. The creations will then be displayed together as part of a public art installation on the library’s windows. Materials will be provided and all ages may participate.
