Art on the Lawn is back for the 2018 summer season! Join the Provincetown Public Library for a fun and interactive summer arts and crafts experience for children of all ages.  The front lawn of the historic Library building will be transformed into a creative space for kids to experiment with different materials, while exploring their own artistic imaginations. To showcase each child’s own artistic self-expression, kids will be encouraged to use different mediums, selected by the library, to decorate a large blank canvas with their own creations.  Potential mediums include paint, crayons, chalk, finger-paint, and markers.  The kids will love it!
