Our last Big Read art project produced a lot of Peacocks!
The National Endowment for the Arts Big Read grant awarded to Spearfish enabled us to do a monthly free community art project. Each project’s theme tied into our community read book, “The Namesake” by Jhumpa Lahiri. We’ve added a few photos just below with some of the completed birds.

Bring yourself, your kids, and anyone else that likes to do crafty things. We are hosting the last monthly Big Read art project in the Art Gallery from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
