Art Box

The ART BOX
at Portsmouth Public Library

Check out a box of eclectic, inspiring objects. Create a work of art. Display it in the library!

Help us create a community art exhibit! Ever think about sharing your art with the public?

Check out one of our art boxes – you will find a variety of interesting items to spark your creativity. Pick a theme – Tentacles or Teacups – and create a work of art!

Each box contains 9 objects + a piece of fabric. Set up your still life, choose your medium (art supplies provided by you), and take two weeks to paint, draw, stitch, sew, print, photograph, etch, etc.!

If you are inclined, submit your work of art in April of 2021 to be included in our group art exhibit during the month of May 2021 in the Levenson Room.

Guidelines and submission forms may be found inside the ART BOX. To check out an art box for adults, visit the library’s Reference Desk. To check out an art box for kids & families, visit the Youth Services Desk.
