Have you ever just needed to make something?

Why buy that cute, decorative thing at the store for $10 when you could spend $197 on supplies and lose your fingerprints to glue gun burns making it? OK, so maybe we can help you avoid the fingerprint erasure and the overspending, but we totally understand the drive to just make something. Let the library and Weston Art & Innovation Center guide you in your creative journey this spring.

No Pinterest fails here!

We welcome the return of in-person DIY Pinterest classes at the library this spring with three adorable and fail-proof projects. Ages 16+ and all supplies are provided.

If you can't make...buy?

Visit the Weston Public Library Gallery through April 29 to see some fantastic art and maybe even find the perfect piece for your walls at home!

Support the Art & Innovation Center by purchasing a striking piece of artwork for your home or office. The artwork displayed here ranges from a 19th century Daumier lithograph to an exciting selection of paintings, prints, drawings, and mixed media pieces by contemporary artists with local and international reputations. All these pieces were donated by Weston residents to help the AIC further its mission to promote hands-on learning in a community setting. Library hours can be found here.
