Please join us for a festive reception on Monday, December 9 (7 to 9 pm) hosted by project partner Robbins Library. Welcome Michelle Lougee, the Arlington Commission for Arts & Culture’s first Artist-in-Residence for Public Art! Hear about her artwork and how activists in our community are working to reduce plastic pollution. Plus, enjoy live music by young singer/songwriter Judah Almond.


For the next 7 months, Michelle Lougee will lead the Arlington community in creating a large collaborative sculpture for the Minuteman Bikeway made of recycled plastic bags. The work has an environmental message: reduce plastic & protect our world!


Find out how you can help – learn how to crochet plastic bags into colorful art! Free workshops start in January. Open to adults and interested youth (age 10 and up).


Light refreshments will be served; hosted by Robbins Library in the Community Room.


Donate your plastic bags at our collection box at the Fox Library.
