Add to Calendar 2025-03-13 10:30:00 2025-03-13 12:30:00 America/Phoenix Library Creatives: Mapping + Drawing + Dreaming Civic Center Library -

Participants will meet outside on Civic Plaza to create customized maps using various drawing materials detailing their real and imagined favorite places, daily journeys, and life histories!

Inspired by the Contours of a Story Civic Center Gallery exhibition, we'll redefine how we typically think about maps to create colorful drawings that will act as keepsakes to cherish the special places in our own lives. Feel free to bring photos of family vacations, solo trips and images of places you've always wanted to visit for inspiration. **Space is limited to 15 participants due to supplies required. Tickets will be distributed 30 minutes prior to the program on Civic Plaza, in the seating area near LOVE sculpture.
