YOP: Collaborative Coloring Book
Saturday, January 26, 2019 at 1 PM – 4 PM
Join us to create a collaborative coloring book! We need your help to draw images of historic places in Ohio, that have been revitalized thanks to historic tax credits. No need to worry about your artistic skill level, because we will have tracing paper and printed images of buildings. Trace a building and add your own artistic flare.
Make sure to sign your drawing, because all of our illustrators will receive recognition in the coloring book.
This will be a fun opportunity for you to learn a bit about historic tax credits, learn cool new uses for old buildings, and flex your artistic muscles.
We will be at the Main Branch Columbus Metropolitan Library (96 S Grant Ave, Columbus, OH 43215) in meeting room 3A.
People of all ages are welcome to participate in YOP activities.

During McMansion Hell: LIVE, blogger Kate Wagner will discuss merits of good design, contemporary architecture, and answer crowd questions.
