Please join us for a festive reception on Monday, December 9 (7 to 9 pm) hosted by project partner Robbins Library.

Welcome Michelle Lougee, the Arlington Commission for Arts & Culture’s first Artist-in-Residence for Public Art!

Hear about her artwork and how activists in our community are working to reduce plastic pollution.

Plus, enjoy live music by young singer/songwriter Judah Almond.

For the next 7 months, Michelle Lougee will lead the Arlington community in creating a large collaborative sculpture for the Minuteman Bikeway made of recycled plastic bags.

The work has an environmental message: reduce plastic & protect our world!

Find out how you can help – learn how to crochet plastic bags into colorful art!

Free workshops start in January.

Open to adults and interested youth (age 10 and up).

Light refreshments will be served; hosted by Robbins Library in the Community Room.

Donate your plastic bags at our collection box at the Fox Library.
