News about Free art Fridays!

With the semester coming to a close, and summer approaching, #Freeartfriday is going to take a vacation over the summer. Next Friday, April 17th will be the last one for the season. Be sure to participate!

Free art Friday will resume in the Fall 2015 semester -- under a new name TAKE AWAY TUESDAYS. We decided to try again on a day when there are more people on site at the Honors College. (There are very few classes on Fridays)

Check out our twitter feed to see what you missed all semester! You can access it from the library home page here  or go to @FAUjupiterly.

See you next semester #TAKEAWAYTUESDAY

P.S. We accept small artwork donations. Contact us for the address and guidelines to send the artwork. darrieta@fau.edu
