Starting next week: Sand Painting & Rangoli art workshops! See more for dates and times:

The Arrowhead Library System is pleased to present Sand Painting & Rangoli with COMPAS Artist Shakuntala Maheshwari. These free art workshops will travel to participating ALS libraries September 8-30, 2026.

Create your own mandala-like designs with chalk, sand, or rice flour in this interactive workshop. Artists will learn about Indian culture, history, and celebrations through sand painting and rangoli. Rangoli designs are temporary floor art created to bring good luck and happiness to homes throughout India. Your stylized rangoli can be displayed temporarily or transferred to paper to bring home.

These workshops are 2 hours long and are suited for adults, teens and children ages 10 and up. Younger children can participate with adult assistance. Interested attendees should contact or visit their local library for workshop details, as space and supplies for these workshops are limited.
