We still have a few more seats open for this wonderful *FREE* series of art classes. Call today to grab your seat! Classes begin Wednesday, Aug. 26 @2 p.m. at SERLS, Wellston, Ohio.

The Sylvester Memorial Wellston Public Library and the Southeast Regional Library System is partnering with Ohio Arts Council (OAC) Teaching Artist roster member Jessica Held to offer a Creative Aging Ohio art program for older adults in Wellston, Ohio.

As a trained participant in Lifetime Arts through OAC’s “Building Bridges to Sustained Communities” initiative, Jessica will lead a six-week visual arts series for adults aged 55+ in Wellston, Ohio.

The program will include five art-making classes held at the Southeast Regional Library (251 W 13th Street), followed by a final session at the Sylvester Memorial Wellston Public Library (135 E Second St). Each two-hour session will provide free materials and guided instruction in suminagashi monoprint, wet-on-wet watercolor painting, and cyanotype photograms.

The program centers on connecting by learning, experimenting, and creating together. It will culminate in a participant art exhibition and opening reception during the final class, where participants will install their work and invite others to celebrate. The opening will include a snack potluck to encourage a welcoming, community-centered experience.

Please call the library at 740.384.6660 to register, seats are limited.
Participants must be willing to attend the full 6 week course.
