Artist in Residence Week: Mayura Yeolekar

Artist in Residence Week: Mayura Yeolekar is a free, hands-on cultural art workshop for community members at the Morrisville library. During this one-hour session, local artist Mayura Yeolekar teaches the history of Madhubani art, a traditional folk painting style from India and Nepal, before guiding participants through a practical drawing practice. This program is best suited for school-aged children and teens who can sit and focus on fine-line drawing for an hour. The event is entirely free, and the library provides all necessary art supplies. Parking is available in the main Morrisville Community Library lot, though it can fill up quickly on Saturday afternoons, so plan to arrive ten minutes early to find a spot and secure your seats. It is a smart addition to your weekend plans because it combines cultural education with a quiet, creative activity. Your kids get to learn a new artistic skill from a professional instructor without any cost to you, and you can browse for books right after the session ends.
