Art on the Lawn is back for the 2022 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 our historic 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!
