In celebration of Croton-on-Hudson's 125th anniversary & National Library Week, we distributed miniature canvases and paint sets to Croton artists of all ages and skill levels.
We asked them to create art on the theme, "something I like about Croton."
We got nearly 70 canvases back, and created the Tiny Art Show! It's on display in the main area of the Library from April 23 through May 23.
Afterward, all canvases will be donated to the Croton Historical Society, to be kept in perpetuity, as part of the historical footprint of our Library and our Village.
