Trashformations
Fourth Annual Early Education Upcycled Art Show
MPL and Clark Fork School again partner to bring you the Trashformations: Fourth Annual Early Education Upcycled Art Show! Art from early education classrooms across the Missoula area and beyond will be featured on the 4th floor of Missoula Public Library for this First Friday event. Come and support community and collaboration among early education programs while instilling the knowledge and passion of upcycling in your family. Please come dressed in your best upcycled or thrifted outfits and accessories to get a ticket to enter drawings for fabulous raffle baskets! We’ll draw for winners at 6:45 PM, you do not need to be present to win. Light appetizers and refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Library.
