Join delegates from Japan's Shiga Prefecture, representatives from the State of Michigan, and AADL staff in celebration of the 50th anniversary of our sister-state relationship and the opening of the SYODO Japanese Calligraphy Exhibit on display at the Downtown AADL August 19 - October 13. Master calligrapher, Kozan Kanda, will provide a live demonstration creating a giant work of calligraphy from 3:30-4:30pm. Light refreshments will be served. 

Library Camp doesn't mean burned marshmallows, mosquito bites, or popsicle stick-based art projects. It's an informal unconference gathering to share ideas, technologies, and wonderings. Take a look at last year's schedule for an idea of the sorts of things we might be discussing.

Come draw with us! We'll provide everything you need to practice your drawing skills.

Every week we’ll cover a different topic. You’ll learn different techniques to tackle texture, chiaroscuro, and perspective, plus improve your sense of composition, lighting, and form. You'll get the chance to try out different media like pencil, charcoal, and pastel. All skill levels are welcome to participate.
