Extreme Draw On! @ the Library
|  Our partnership with the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum for Extreme Draw On! starts March 24th and runs through May 4th. We will be hosting a "drawing horse" at our interim quarters at 21 Governor Street. Come by and make a drawing inspired by the work of our beloved Maurice Sendak and we will post it in our front windows for all to admire. Draw the "wild thing" in you or pay homage to another favorite Sendak character with your own interpretation. |
