Steele Memorial
Adult Events @ Steele (teens welcome)
We are pleased to announce that Steele Memorial Library has been awarded a Community Arts Grant to fund a series of art workshops this year: "Art Journey 2017: Workshops in the fine arts for the armchair adventurer, with Wynn Yarrow".
 Art Journey 2017 will begin Tuesday, January 31st at 6:30pm with "Traveling Light: Create a small felted pouch". Please register by calling (607)733-9175.
The Art Journey programs will continue each month in 2017, ending with an art reception in December. The workshops will be standalone (students do not need to attend the entire series) but there is an overarching theme, which ties everything together. The series is open to adults and teens; there will be a special 4-week skill building series that is specifically geared for teens (open to adults as well) in March/April.
This project is made possible, in part, with public funds from NYSCA's Decentralization Program, administered regionally by The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes.
