Nick Andrews, director in Elmwood (population 810) recently shared the following message to the Youth Services listserv in IFLS and Leah Langby shared it with us. What a great collaboration and fun program!
Nick shares:
I just wanted to share an art collaboration with my local elementary art teacher. They had five classroom's worth of glow-in-the-dark artwork, and a handful of black lights. I had a place to show it all off, the time to help put it all up, and the willingness to spend $60 on LED light strips and glow in the dark balloons. Between the two of us, we planned out where it would go, talked it up to all our school families, and placed all the art and lights. Additional props to the art teacher's kids, who helped me get all the balloons inflated.
Then we had the regular lights off for two hours this evening, and nearly 100 people came through to see the show! (those are excellent numbers for us, I'm really excited )
Partly I'm bragging because I had so much fun with so many of my student artists, but I also wanted to mention how far this went with just a handful of conversations with my local art teacher and a willingness (and capacity) to help turn the library into a gallery.
