Eastside Branch - Makerspace

Come join us at the Eastside Makerspace for Learn to Paint. This month we're going in a new direction and learning watercolor techniques. We're going to make a watercolor style sample guide booklet and then use those techniques to make a small floral painting from observing cut flowers! All artistic levels welcome, 13 and up.

Northside Branch - Large Meeting Room

Watercolor painting club with a lesson each month suitable for beginners, dilettantes, and anyone who just wants to hang out and paint with us. We will be following a series of tutorials that start with the basics at our first meeting and build on those skills with each class that follows. Registration required so I will be able to purchase enough supplies for everyone.

Throughout the fall of 2023 and into the winter for 2023, the Lexington Public Library will be embarking on a strategic visioning process that will guide library programs and services for the next three years.

Celebrate Lexington, Kentucky’s 250th anniversary all year long. Join us for programs, galleries, podcasts, and more highlighting our city’s history, heritage, and legacy.
