    • International Market and More artist participation increased by 2% 

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

    • Contributed to the first annual celebration of Irish and Hispanic Heritage Months

  • Impact

    • International Markets and More Events saw immense improvement, including:

      • introduction of new vendors & artists 

      • largest artist lineup yet

    • Art Teacher Makerspace Training enables teachers to acquire knowledge on digital art, potentially impacting 4,469 students county wide. 

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.
