Join us and Illinois Art Station for our Earth Day Program on April 21st at 4 p.m. in the library.
Get inspired by Sydney-based artist Marina DeBris with Illinois Art Station and make it work by turning trash into trashion! Young artists will consider what and how we waste while creating custom wearable art pieces out of un/recyclable materials.
"Marina DeBris transforms garbage found in the ocean or washed up on the beach into intricately constructed garments. She is a campaigner against ocean pollution and hopes through her art she can show how ‘the waste we create keeps coming back to haunt us’." - The Guardian, 2016

We ask that you arrive 10 minutes early to your scheduled time so that you can pick out a story prior to your reading period.
