art museum, and also being raised in a home which was overflowing with beautiful art books," she says. "I can't remember a time when I wasn't looking at art, and making. Simply put, it brings me joy! "I am a printmaker, so I wanted to come up with an activity that gives some insight into the way I approach making my own work — primarily, to think about making work in layers of colour," Song says. "Because of the wide age range of our visitors, I wanted something simple to execute, so I decided on stencil-making. We both help visitors make their own stencils, as well as offer a selection of pre-cut stencils, and they then use brushes/sponges with paint to create their designs, with the option to layer multiple stencils over one another to see the beautiful ways the colors can combine. "I love it when people come up with their own stencils because it shows me what is important in their lives, what inspires them," Song enthuses. "The reaction has been wonderful, and I feel so lucky to see how enthusiastic everyone is to be involved." "The CB to You Mobile Art Lab is a happy surprise for families and visitors," Segerlin concludes. "Some ask if it's a paid program, and we share it's free, and also there are free art kits for families to take and continue making art at home. We hear that many are blown away by the museum efforts to visit their town in such a thoughtful way to highlight their town's own library, school teachers and artists. Many people love the pop-up performances such as Papa Rap's drum circle, as well as the unique poets of our region. "Most of all people love talking to the artists hosting the activity. The conversations with visitors and the library staff are a great way to hear about each town's history and culture." www.rogerslowell.com The Chamber's Northwest Arkansas Job Fair is the longest running Job Fair in Arkansas.
