Discover creative inspiration at annual demARTS hosted by Siuslaw Library
On Saturday, Oct. 14, the
Siuslaw Public Library will
host
its
fourth
annual
demARTS event. This popular
event is a day-long demonstra-
tion of creativity and art with
something for anyone who
enjoys art, creates art or yearns
to create art.
The demARTS event is the
library’s
celebration
of
National Arts and Humanities
Month. More than 20 artists
will gather at the library and
present techniques in multiple
art forms including painting,
fiber arts, beading, fabric arts
and ceramics.
Demonstrations will take
place in the library’s lobby,
Bromley Room and in the con-
ference room from 10 a.m. to
4:30 p.m.
“I’m excited this celebration
of arts and crafts is in its fourth
year and has proven to be a
popular October community
event,” said Mary Colgan-
Bennetts, Library Circulation
Supervisor, staff liaison to the
library’s art committee and cre-
ator of demARTS. “The suc-
cess of the past demARTS is a
reflection of our community’s
appreciation of all art forms.”
Colgan-Bennetts said that
this year, as in previous years,
the event will have some differ-
ent mediums (art forms) for
people to learn about and
potentially explore.
“New techniques scheduled
for this year’s event include
decoupage and photo buttons,”
Colgan-Bennetts said.
The first round of art demon-
strations begins at 10 a.m. with
alternating groups of artists
demonstrating their talents for
two hours each throughout the
day at 10 a.m., 12:15 p.m. and
2:30 p.m.
These presentations will
allow participants to observe
more than 20 artists and
crafters working in a variety of
mediums. In addition, the Last
Resort Players will provide per-
forming arts fans with a pre-
view of its upcoming produc-
tion of “Annie,” the musical.
“Anyone who has longed to
turn a blank canvas into a mas-
terpiece or anyone interested in

fiber.
This all-day celebration is
the perfect opportunity for
adults and children alike to
watch the creative process, to
speak with the artists as they
work and to find inspiration
and encouragement from our
talented artists.
Once inspired, visit the
“Make and Take” room inside
the library to make your own
piece of art, such as a button or
card. From there, peruse and
check out one (or more) of the
library’s dozens of art or craft
books.
The demARTS event is free
and open to all.

session will receive a com-

Most people have heard of the
3Rs of environmentally
friendly behavior-
REDUCE is to use less of something.
Use less water, turn off lights,
use both sides of a paper.
REUSE is to use an item again. Refi ll a water bottle, reuse a
container and buy reusable bags.
RECYCLE is to make new items from old ones; recycle
bottles, glass, paper, cans, plastic, cardboard & more.
T ip
SEPARATE TRASH
One of the main reasons people feel like
they can’t recycle is because it’s an extra
step in their already busy day. Keeping
a cardboard box or large container right
next to the trash can for all recyclable
goods makes recycling a whole lot easier.
Then, all your waste is ready when your
disposal service comes to pick it up.
