On Saturday, June 11, there were four different artistic workshops led by well-renowned Wyoming Valley artists. The workshops began with an instructional portion held at the library, and then the class would move outside to the Rails-to-Trails trail behind the library for practical outdoor experience in the medium that was discussed in the library. The one-day program was titled 2016: Arts & Photography Along the D&L Trail. Oil painting, colored pencil sketching, watercolor painting and nature photography were the featured workshops. “The idea, in a nutshell, is to introduce people to an art or photo medium and then move it outside to introduce people to the trail too,” explained event organizer Charlotte Carter from the White Haven Area Community Library. She was very passionate about the event and is already considering offering a similar one-day program again Color Me Crazy Improving Our World. in autumn to take advantage of the fall foliage.
