Colorful Creative Corner with CALS
and/or a Library Card Design Contest
Wednesdays, 2-4 p.m.: July 23, July 30

Parking is free with validation in the library lot/deck.

UA Little Rock Downtown, entrance at the corner of President Clinton Ave. and Rock St.

All ages are welcome to this free Summer @ CALS program for coloring, collaging, and creating whatever you want! You can also celebrate the Main Library's opening by designing a limited-edition library card! All the colors and crafting supplies are ready and waiting for your inspiration. Once you have completed your work of art (an entry for the design contest), we will scan your submission for you.

Or come color your own wooden bookmarks, wooden frames, and even wooden butterflies. Throw some color on a tiny four-inch-by-four-inch canvas, make a collage with colorful paper, draw, paint, or maybe make a mobile. The options are endless! Come hang out and create in a relaxed (air-conditioned!) atmosphere. Bring a friend or make a new one!

Due to ongoing construction, 2nd Friday Art Night will not be held July 11. Come see us for the next 2FAN on August 8! We will feature Dedicated Visual Art Studio & Gallery with a free screen printing - just bring your own T-shirt or tote. Hope to see you then 🙂

2FAN is a downtown Little Rock after-hours art event that happens on the second Friday of each month. Events are hosted at several locations in downtown Little Rock. At CALS’s monthly event, attendees will be greeted with local artists selling their work and/or providing art demonstrations, a DJ or performer playing music, and light refreshments and libations.

PLUS: 2nd Friday Knit Night (part of 2FAN). Bring your WIP (work in progress) and hang out for an evening of social knitting. Don’t know how to knit? We'll teach you. Supplies provided.

Also, join us at the CALS Ron Robinson Theater during downtown's 2nd Friday Art Night! After visiting the other participants (CALS Rock It! Lab, Bella Vita Jewelry, Historic Arkansas Museum, and the Old State House), bring your knitting, coloring sheets (we’ll have some!), or whatever quiet craft soothes your soul as you enjoy beloved classics on the big screen. July's 2nd Friday Art Night Film is The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004, R). More info here: https://centralarkansaslibrarysystemcals.libnet.info/event/13877335

Made possible by generous funding from the CALS Foundation and the Windgate Foundation.

For more information about all downtown 2FAN activities, visit the 2nd Friday Art Night page.

The event is free to attend, and parking is free with validation in the library lot/deck (as space is available). Street parking is also free after 5:00 p.m.

🎆Happy Fourth of July! 🎆

This group photo shows Women Ordnance Workers (WOWs) at the Arkansas Ordnance Works in Jacksonville during World War II pictured with an American flag, where, in August 1943, over 12,000 employees worked to supply the front lines. Nearly 75% of the production line workforce were women.

Their work reminds us that many kinds of service contribute to the strength of a nation this Independence Day. 🗽
