FREE ART ACTIVITIES FOR LOCAL YOUTH
Spring Fling Activities were cancelled in compliance with recommendations from CDC, WHO, and our local Health Department. In lieu of these activities, the Allegany Arts Association partnered with
Angelica Ink and SheilaLynnK Art Studio to provide supplies to support the creative and academic goals of local families. This project served approximately sixty-two local families during curbside distribution activities in March and April.
STILL AVAILABLE: Family "Paper Packs" with
paper and instructions to make Paper Airplanes, Doves, Fortune Tellers, Paper Chains and Zines offer a little something to keep you busy while you social distance. Contact Susan at [email protected] to schedule
your curb-side pick up in Angelica. Appointments will be staggered to allow you to
safely pick up your items while supplies last.

CREATIVE COMMUNITY ACTION
“If art has any value, it should have a certain kind of mission in protecting our humanity, because you’re not scientists, you’re not on
the “front line.” It’s not practical. Art is about how humans can be called a very special species that have the capacity to love and
dream and really associate with one another." ~Ai Weiwei
