Children’s Art Benefits Arapahoe Libraries

The Arapahoe Library District is participating in the Tile Project which will showcase the artwork of Colorado children painted on tiles and displayed in the concierge lobby at the new Streets of SouthGlenn shopping plaza. Tiles are $25, and tax-deductible, with all proceeds going to the Arapahoe Library District Friends Foundation to assist with programming such as the Summer Reading Program, writing workshops and computer classes. The tiles will be painted over several Saturdays – August 29th, September 12th, and September 19th with sessions in the morning (10am-1pm) and in the afternoon (1pm-4pm). Tiles, paint and brushes will be provided. There are a limited number of tiles available and time slots are available on a first come, first served basis. The last day to register is September 15th. All participants will be invited to a special breakfast to celebrate the wall’s unveiling.

Those interested in volunteering for the Tile Project or with the Arapahoe Library District, please contact Louise Richey at lrichey@ald.lib.co.us or 303.792.8999 extension 19106.
