Valentine's Cards for Local Seniors

Get out the glitter and find the glue because we need YOU to help us make Valentine's cards! Mesa Arts Center is teaming up with  Mesa Public Library  to create and deliver Valentine's cards to nursing homes and homebound residents in Mesa and beyond. It only takes a few minutes to make a Valentine's card that could make someone's day.
 
Drop off your works of art (or even cards you picked up at the store, we won't tell) at any Mesa Library location or the Mesa Arts Center Box Office until Friday, February 9th.
 
Fresh out of glitter? Stop by the Main Library, located at 64 East 1st Street in Mesa on Monday, February 5th for pop-in card making!
