Sparks Art Show

The Regional Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators will be displaying a year's worth of creative work at the Billings Library from February 3-27th. The Show, entitled Montana SPARKS is now in its 3rd year exhibiting at the Library. This year, the group began each month with a creative prompt dreamed up by writer Megan Emmot to which they created a poem, a short story, or an illustration inspired by the prompt, or by their own personal work. The prompts were: 

• There's something spooky living under the stairs
• An Alligator goes stargazing 
• A Memory of Ice Skating 
• New 
• It's not easy being small
• Dancing in the rain
• Full of feathers
• It all started in the mountains
• The space where I belong
• An unexpected friend
• A memory of swimming
• Through the door of possibilities 

The Regional SCBWI-MT group would like to thank the library for exhibiting their work and joining in on the celebration of creativity. They encourage anyone visiting the show to also use the prompts to create personal work for themselves and to share! Inquiries about the show can be directed to Illustrator Coordinator Jeanne Bowman at montana-ic@scbwi.org
