Face the Art: for Teens

October 22, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

- Free

October’s Concord Free Public Library Gallery artist Shelby Meyerhoff is here to make you costume ready! Face the Art is October 22 at 2pm in the Main Library Courtyard Workshop. Using professional face paints and tools, teens will learn pro-tips and tricks to transform their visage into artistic masterpieces. Turn yourself into an animal, or perhaps something more expressionistic or abstract!

Please wear suitable (stainable) clothing. Masks optional. Participants will be able to paint on hands/arms as well. If you have a history of skin allergies, please do not register for the program. If you have any concerns, speak with a physician beforehand.

All paints used in this workshop are professional-quality face paints from Mehron, made in the USA with FDA-approved ingredients.

Shelby Meyerhoff is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Boston area. She lives near the Middlesex Fells, a 2,575-acre nature reservation, and draws much of her inspiration from the plants, animals, and other species found in her local area. Before becoming a fine artist, she worked in nonprofit communications, promoting environmental initiatives. She is also an educator, with a focus on arts and nature programming.

This program is open to teens only, age 11-18. All genders and identities are welcome. Please arrive on time! Registration is required, please visit concordlibrary.org to register and for more information. Contact Teen Librarian Cary Stough with questions: cmstough@minlib.net.
