2nd/Second Friday Art Night (2FAN)

Shop local, take in some music, and sip wine with friends!

Arkansas artists will be selling paintings, jewelry, greeting cards, clothing, photography, totes, prints, purses, treats, chocolates, ornaments, pottery, wood, magnets, stickers, and more.

Join artist Ren Gudino (aka Grunge Granny) with a junk-journaling station for all ages. She will pre-make some, prep others for assembly, and have all the parts ready for folks to put together themselves if they’d like to. Junk journaling takes the pressure out of journaling by giving you a little book, often made out of repurposed materials, to fill up in whatever way you wish. This is good for people who think journaling feels too poignant or too subject to expectations, prefer scrapbooking to journaling, or like to draw in their journals. Supplies and directions provided!

At our monthly 2FAN event, attendees will be greeted in the Main Library's first-floor Shaylea Harding Lobby with local artists selling their work, art demonstrations, a craft table, a DJ or performer playing music, and light refreshments and libations. Arkansas artists will be selling paintings, jewelry, greeting cards, clothing, ornaments, photography, totes, prints, purses, treats, chocolates, pottery, wood, magnets, stickers, and more. You just never know what unique gift you will find!

PLUS: 2nd Friday Knit Night (part of 2FAN). Bring your WIP (work in progress) and hang out for an evening of social knitting. Don’t know how to knit? We'll teach you. Supplies provided. 

(Note: Library services other than self-check will not be available after the library closes at 6:00.)

Boulevard Bread Company's location inside the library will also be open with a limited menu, so you can purchase your favorite snack, treat, or coffee. 

Made possible by generous funding from the CALS Foundation and the Windgate Foundation.
