Share your arts and crafts at the Blackstone Public Library's Virtual Museum



Calling artists and creators of all ages! You are invited to share your artwork, photographs, craft projects, and LEGO creations by "exhibiting" at the NEW Blackstone Public Library's Virtual Museum.

At the moment, we have plenty of space for exhibitors. Rooms 1 and 2 have a few examples of how artwork will look in the online gallery. We will rotate displays as we receive more submissions.

Here's how to participate:

1. Draw, paint, color, build, sculpt clay, take a photograph - whatever you or your children feel inspired to do.
2. Snap a photo of your creation with a phone or digital camera, or scan your artwork and save as an image file.
3. Email your images to blackstonelibrary86@gmail.com
4. If you wish, you may include the artist's first name and last initial, and/or a description of the artwork.

We are looking forward to seeing your creative projects!

Come read with us and share your thoughts through the Blackstone Public Library's Virtual Book Club! We will be using Hoopla Digital, a digital media service offered by your library that allows you to instantly borrow digital movies, music, eBooks and more, 24/7 with your Blackstone library card. Titles can be streamed immediately on most devices, including personal computers, or downloaded to phones or tablets for offline enjoyment later.

What do you need to join?

You will need an active Blackstone Public Library card, an email address, and an electronic device on which to read or listen to our digital book club material. This device can be a personal computer, a tablet (iPad, Kindle, Android, etc.), or mobile phone.


You will also need a Hoopla Digital account. To sign up at Hoopla, go to https://www.hoopladigital.com and click on "Sign Up" in the upper right corner.

Once you are ready to read, ask to join the group. A moderator will attend to your request as soon as possible.
