MULTICULTURAL SUPERHEROES – This is your chance to create your own super hero or heroine! Peruse our table of graphic arts books and magazines, then dive into our supply of cool recycled stuff, and create to you heart’s content.
Come check out the Art Gallery, where artists’ work will be displayed for the first time.
