Make art and make history - America is turning 250!

In this drop-in, 2-hour workshop, young artists (third grade and up), as well as their adults, will engage in the process of creating a more perfect union through original artworks that explore and express big ideas about our shared and individual histories as Americans.

This workshop is free, and all materials will be provided. We will meet at the Danvers Public Library, located at 117 E. Exchange St. in Danvers, Illinois.

Completed artworks may be showcased in the A More Perfect Union: A Community Exhibition Commemorating America 250 exhibition at the McLean County Arts Center in June and July 2026.  It is not expected that artworks will be completed within the workshop.
