Artist in Residence Week: Visual artist LA Chesson, aka Sonofsimba

Artist in Residence Week: Visual artist LA Chesson, aka Sonofsimba, is a free community art presentation and discussion at the Morrisville Community Library. Visitors can view pieces of Chesson's contemporary artwork up close while hearing the Durham-based creator explain his techniques and inspiration. This one-hour session is best suited for school-aged children, teenagers, and parents who enjoy visual arts. The event is entirely free to attend, and parking is available in the main library lot. Because this is an indoor, seated presentation, it is a good idea to arrive about fifteen minutes early to secure a spot near the front so your kids can easily see the artwork. It makes a smart weekend stop because it combines a library visit with a real-world art lesson. Your kids will get to see how a local professional turns a passion for drawing into a career, which is sure to spark some creativity for their own weekend craft projects.
