The St. Joseph Public Library is starting a monthly Art Program at its Downtown Branch.

According to the library the program came about after the 2015 summer comic book program met with much success.

Starting in September a Creative Comics Club is opening to teens ages 12-18 at the Downtown Library, 927 Felix St. The club will meet at 4 p.m. on the second Thursday of every month.

The next meeting set for Sept. 10th will focus on what teens have drawn at home. There will also be a 3D drawing activity using aluminum wire.

Along with practicing the art of drawing comics participants will be introduced to other artistic expressions such as printmaking, clay modeling and found art.

The program is free and no registration is required.
