Spring is the time for
the annual community drawing festival organized by The Aldrich Contemporary Art
Museum. Expanded in time and scope this year, Extreme Draw On! will run from
March 24th through May 4th, with exhibits and programs in
scores of locations around the state and the country. This year’s program
features a special tribute to Ridgefield’s own late great author and
illustrator Maurice Sendak.
The Library is pleased
to partner with the Aldrich again this spring, as we have since the program’s
inception in 2006. We will be hosting a "drawing horse" near the
entrance to our 21 Governor Street facility, so come by and make a drawing
inspired by the work of our beloved Mr. Sendak and we will post it in our front
windows for all to admire. We’ll have all the supplies you need. Draw the
"wild thing" in you, or pay homage to another favorite Sendak
character with your own interpretation.
As Mr. Sendak so ably demonstrated, creativity has no age limits and
imagination has no boundaries. Adults and children of all ages welcome!
