The Arrowhead Library System (ALS) will be providing Mosaic Art Take & Create Kits for member public libraries to distribute May 7-31, 2024. This art experience, created by Chisholm artist Rebekkah Anderson through Diletto, combines the art of storytelling through both mosaics and barn quilts. “Mosaics are an art form we don’t typically access in our area as a community, but they are so much a part of our regional history of storytelling,” said Anderson.
Take & Create Art Kits will include supplies to create a unique mosaic tile coaster, including tiles, a bowl & spoon set, grout, coaster, and design examples. Kits will be distributed at the following public libraries and ALS outreach locations:
Aurora Public Library, Babbitt Public Library, Baudette Public Library, Bovey Public Library, Buhl Public Library, Calumet Public Library, Carlton Area Public Library, Chisholm Public Library, Cloquet Public Library, Coleraine Public Library, Cook Public Library, Duluth Public Library, Ely Public Library, Eveleth Public Library, Gilbert Public Library, Grand Marais Public Library, Grand Rapids Area Library, Hibbing Public Library, Hoyt Lakes Public Library, International Falls Public Library, Keewatin Public Library, Marble Public Library, Moose Lake Public Library, Mountain Iron Public Library, Silver Bay Public Library, Two Harbors Public Library, Virginia Public Library along with the ALS Bookmobile and Mail-A-Book service (*patrons must qualify for Mail-A-Book services, kit may be modified in order to deliver by mail)
This free program is best suited for ages eight and older – younger kids may need extra help from an adult. Please note each location has a limited number of kits – feel free to contact your local library for more information.
