For the second time this year, guests of the World of Little League® Museum and Official Store will have the opportunity to learn to paint inside the iconic museum as part of a “Art at the Museum” event with local artist, Amanda M. Emig, on Sunday, October 14, starting at 2 p.m.
“Our first event held this past March was a great success and we hope that this experience will once again be an inspiration to all of those in our community,” said Lance Van Auken, Little League® Vice President and Executive Director of the Museum. “I would encourage anyone, regardless of their perceived talents, to sign up and enjoy this tremendous opportunity.”
For $40 per person, each participant will be provided art supplies and a canvas and receive step-by-step instruction by Mrs. Emig, owner of Wistart Studio in Hughesville, to create a memorable painting of a baseball among fall foliage. Snacks will also be provided.
Reservations are required and should be made before October 10 by contacting the Museum at (570) 326-3607 or at Facebook.com/WistartStudio. No experience is necessary in order to register.
Participants may arrive prior to the event to visit the Museum at no charge. Personal masterpieces may be taken home before the Museum closes for the day. Additional information about the project is available on the Museum’s Facebook page.
