Program Description

Make art and make history - America is turning 250! The McLean County Museum of History, McLean County Arts Center, and other partners invite artists of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels to participate in A More Perfect Union - A Community Exhibition Commemorating America 250

In this drop-in, 2-hr workshop, young artists in Grades 3-5 will engage in the process of creating a more perfect union through the process of creating original artworks that explore and express big ideas about our shared and individual histories as Americans. Completed artworks may be showcased as part of the A More Perfect Union exhibition at the McLean County Arts Center in June/July 2026. All materials will be provided. It is not expected that artwork will be completed during workshop.

Hearing Device Assistance

To accommodate hard-of-hearing patrons, the library offers the use of assistive listening devices in each Community Room and in each Children’s Program Room. For these devices to work, the presenter must use the room’s sound system. For the clearest sound, make sure the device is unobstructed by clothing or jewelry and sit in the first few rows.
If you experience connectivity issues, please let a staff member know. A guide on using the assistive listening devices is available.
