Stop by the Makerspace to create with our Maker-in-Residence, Anna Barnhart, working on a Community painting project.

You and your unique skills are building blocks to our Portage and Southwest Michigan community.  You are invited to create a "molecular self-portrait" out of recycled materials; choosing "elements" and colors that represent what you bring to our group. We will display these molecules together as a larger piece, celebrating our similarities, uniqueness, and how we all contribute to our neighborhood. 

An artist from Southwest Michigan, you'll find Anna Barnhart's work defined by the thick texture and colorful illustrations created with versatile acrylic paint. Her nature-inspired artwork can be seen in art fairs, her website, YouTube channel, and at the occasional farmer's market or craft fair.

Location Details: Makerspace is on the main level of library.
