Art Meets Poetry for Teens

WHEELER MEMORIAL LIBRARY 
February 11, 2010, 4:00-5:30

• Teaching artist Renee Malowitz and creative writing instructor Rhonda Hamer join to provide a project combining poetry and art.
• First, create simple yet beautiful art - a paper of your own design
• Then, write, as well as pen, your own poem in calligraphy marker
• Combine the two to create laminated book marks suitable to give as gifts or mark a page in a favorite book.  Teens are invited to come together in a relaxed setting and simply create!
• This program is supported in part by a grant from the Orange Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Become a MAGICIAN!

PHOTO CAPTION:  In 2008 the Wizard worked magic with the help of Graham Green, Sasha McCraney-Montalvo, and Naomi Cope.  During February vacation two years later, Graham, Sasha, and Naomi could learn to do the trick on their own.

On February 16th and 18th Ed the Wizard will visit the Wheeler Memorial Library to teach magic to twenty lucky people in fourth grade or older. Thanks to the generousity of the Orange Cultural Council, free classes will be held from 1:00-2:30 each day with a free public performance by Ed the Wizard and the class participants at 6:30 on Thursday February 18th in the Wheeler Library meeting room. Those interested should call the Wheeler Memorial Library Children's Room at 978-544-2495, x103. Commitment to both classes and registration are required. Ed's activities are always the first to reach maximum capacity during the summer reading programs so call as soon as you can. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Orange Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
