Chapala Library touch-up

Charlsie Kelly is putting out a call to artists and non-artists to help restore and freshen up the Biblioteca Paula Real López in Chapala. The project will run Thursday through Saturday, September 25–27, and will involve repainting, wall repairs and other needed maintenance.

“I will supply as much as I can come up with paint-wise and will have aprons, brushes, etc. on hand,” said Kelly. “But I’m certainly hoping for donations of paint or even pesos to help fund the supplies.”
