Children can still submit their art to be part of an exhibit at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library in conjunction with the traveling Smithsonian exhibit “The Children’s art based on the theme “My Family Works” will be displayed in the library’s Parkside Gallery on the lower level while the Smithsonian exhibit is in place on the upper level Dec. 16 through Jan. 28, 2012. Children can create drawings on sheets currently available at the library or create a drawing, painting, photography, collage, or other flat-surface art using their own materials. The art should reflect jobs family members do – whether or not they do it for pay. The child’s name and age should be included on the front of the art. Art should be taken to library’s Checkout or Research and Information desks at 702 E, Front Ave. The public can get a sneak peek at TWWW during the library’s Open House on Dec. 16, noon to 5 p.m. Other exhibit-related events include:
TWWW is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and state humanities councils nationwide. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress. The exhibit has been made possible in Idaho by the Idaho Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities “We the People” Program, and the Inland Northwest Foundation. The Museum of North Idaho is the library’s community partner for the project.
Patrons who need accommodation to participate in library programs or services are asked to contact the staff prior to the activity by calling 208-769-2315.
