Libraries offer acrylic paint kits

The Arrowhead Library System will be providing acrylic painting Take & Create art kits to member public libraries to distribute March 1-31. This art experience has been designed by 321 Art Studio in Chisholm and explores acrylic painting for beginners and more advanced participants. The Take & Create art kit includes supplies to create two unique pictures — one for beginners and one for advanced painters — one 11x14 stretched canvas, one 9x12 canvas board, one sheet of mixed media paper, and one paint kit that contains a drawing pencil, two brushes and 12 tubes of acrylic paint. A follow-along instructional video will be shared online for participants. It will include simple instructions and tips on using paint, canvas, and brushes. Each kit will include enough supplies for three paintings, so participants have several options for practicing and creating something of their own. Kits will be distributed at Carlton, Cloquet and Moose Lake public libraries in Carlton County.

This program is geared towards tweens, teens, and adults. Please note each location has a limited number of kits. Contact your local library for more information.
