On Sunday, March 11, 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, starting at 2 p.m.
“We hope that holding this event in our world-class Museum will be an inspiration, and we’re looking forward to hosting it,” said Lance Van Auken, Vice President and Executive Director of the Museum. “I would encourage anyone, regardless of their perceived talents, to sign up.”
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 and American flag. Snacks will also be provided.
Reservations are required and should be made before March 3 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.
