    • International Market and More artist participation increased by 2% 

    • Increased number of Art Teacher Makerspace training workshops and school visits

The Urban Art Bike Program was also going strong this summer. We had five kids who worked with artists Ondina Aguirre and Gaz Gazzola to build a Jelly fish art bike. During teacher training, the teachers worked with Kate Warren to build a cicada bike. They were exhibited at the Library’s Maker Day and you can expect to see them delighting people around town in the future.
