Calling all teen artists! We have BIG news: this summer, Darien Library is teaming up with Portland Public Library for a Tumblr Virtual Art Show!  Break out your sketchbooks, paints, and pastels and get working on your next masterpiece!

All summer long, you can submit your artwork to share with teens from around New England.  What makes this opportunity so unique is that you'll be able to check out what teens your age are inspired by and vice versa.  So whatever medium you prefer--painting, sculpture, photography, charcoal, comic strips--start thinking about what you'd like to display on our virtual art gallery!

When you're ready to submit your artwork, we'll photograph it into a curate-tion sensation!  Contact Erica Gauquier, Teen Services Librarian, at: egauquier@darienlibrary.org or at: (203) 669-5225, for all the details and/or any additional questions.

Make sure to follow either DLTeen Tumblr or PPLTeens Tumblr to see the latest artwork posted, and remember: be creative and have fun!

We can’t wait to see what you’ll make!
