DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A local artist is inviting the public to contribute to a collaborative art installation at the Dayton Metro Library,
Artist Leesa Haapapuro’s collaborative art installation “BRIDGES” will be constructed at the library from May 1 to June 30.
Haapapuro is inviting the public to contribute their ideas and creativity to the project during her open workshop hours, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, in the Main Library’s Opportunity Space @ Patterson, 215 E. Third Street, in downtown Dayton.
“Everyone is invited to watch the project grow, but I’m really hoping people of all ages will come inside and lend a hand,” Haapapuro said.
