Free Art Party at the Library Friday, Nov. 6

If Friday, Nov. 6 is open on your calendar, the Flower Mound Public Library on Broadmoor Lane already has a plan for it.

The library's Art Party runs from 5–7 p.m. No tickets, no registration, no cost. Walk in anytime.

Student artwork from LISD and homeschooled students lines the building, a local elementary school show choir performs live, and professional artists run hands-on demonstrations — including shibori, the traditional Japanese art of dyeing cloth. Shibori is worth a moment of attention on its own. It's a resist-dyeing technique: folding, twisting, or binding fabric before it hits the dye bath, a practice refined in Japan over centuries. Watching a pro walk through it beats reading about it.

Kids and families can also do face painting, glitter tattoos, button making, and Artist Trading Cards. The Creation Lab will be open for tours, and a community art project runs all evening.

November is Arts Month in Flower Mound. The Art Party is the kickoff, with a full calendar of events across town running all month.

The library is on Broadmoor Lane. Show up anytime between 5 and 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6.
