This Summer – Make Art with ArtVan

Lewiston Public Library partners with ArtVan to host hands-on art-making in Callahan Hall for children ages 5 to 14. Participants ages 5 to 8 should attend with an adult. ArtVan, a traveling arts program, fosters creativity, growth, and enjoyment through projects that invite exploration of many different materials. Activities welcome a range of ages, promote time outdoors and reduced screen use, strengthen connection, ease stress, and offer healthy ways to express difficult emotions. Since 2004, ArtVan has delivered therapeutic, strengths-based art programs in under-resourced neighborhoods. The sessions are free, open to the public, and require no registration, and all supplies are provided. For details, contact the Lewiston Public Library at 513-3133 or LPLKids@lewistonmaine.gov.

Cornhole Night @ Legends!

Enjoy an evening of outdoor cornhole on the patio at Legends Sports Bar and Grill, where summer air, cold drinks, and a lively crowd set the tone for friendly competition.

Play begins with round robin matchups that seed a bracket, with the number of preliminary games and the bracket format adjusted based on attendance. The full bar and food menu are available throughout. All skill levels are welcome, and the vibe can range from highly competitive to laid-back patio therapy with boards.
