Event Details

Celebrate art, creativity, community, and the Freedom to Read! Our Tiny Art Showcase is back, featuring tiny masterpieces created by your friends and your neighbors, and maybe you!  

This time, we are asking you to create a masterpiece inspired by a challenged or banned book or author.  Registered participants may pick up a tiny canvas between September 9 and September 19 at the Maryland City at Russett Library.  Or you can use your own paints, mixed media and supplies. Artwork must be no larger than 4"x4", labeled, and dropped off by September 20 to be included in our showcase.

Art will be exhibited in the branch for the month of October. Artists may pick up their art between October 21-28. Any art not picked up by October 28 will be donated to the branch.
