Please join Durham County Main Library and artist Talia Mango for an inclusive arts program for Tweens (ages 9+) and Teens - all abilities & neurotypes are welcome! Each participant will create a "Feelings House" and learn about expressing emotions artistically. All individuals, regardless of ability, are encouraged to attend, and materials will be adjusted to accommodate individual needs.
Registration is encouraged, but not required. Please only register the tweens/teens attending; caregivers do not need to register.
