ArtVan is a mobile art program that brings hands-on creative art opportunities for self-expression, personal growth and fun, according to a news release from the library. All of its projects aim to inspire art-making with a variety of materials to explore.
ArtVan programs engage all age groups, encourage time outside and reduce screen time, help youth stay connected, diminish stress, and provide release for unvented expressions of emotions, such as loss and confusion.
ArtVan began in 2004 and has provided therapeutic art and strengths-based programs to under-resourced neighborhoods.
The event is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. All art supplies will be provided.
