About
The Library of Arts was founded in 2012, with a mission to provide a place for artists to display and sell their work as well as provide art education for children and adults. We are a nonprofit organization which has painting parties for all kinds of occasion for adults and children. We have had children's birthday parties as well as adult birthday parties. We provide a great place for children to have a birthday celebration and all invitees take home a painting that they created.
We have a gallery area where local artists display their work and a gift shop which carries work by local artists. We rent out space to organizations and provide an art program if they desire, or they sometimes choose to paint.
We have just hosted a Thursday night Kids' Club where children come and paint for about an hour. This has helped fill the gap for art education that a lot of children are now missing in the schools. Our means of support is through memberships and donations as well as painting parties, classes, sales, and rentals.
