Program Description

Event Details

Kids will get to create smear abstract paintings--a technique where a painting is created by applying paint utilizing tools like scrapers, brushes, fingertips, and more! Be sure to wear clothes that can get messy!

Priority registration will be given to Troy Public Library card holders. If you do not have a TPL issued library card, register WITHOUT a card to be put on the Pending Waitlist. If there is space available closer to the event you will be moved to the main list.​
