The Mural is going up!

Published on 04/10/26

If you step into the Library on a Wednesday between 2:30 and 4:30, you will find Bri Leslie, an artist affiliated with Stumptown Art Studio, directing students in painting a mural on the previously bare hallway wall.

This project happens on the day that students are released early from school, and is an opportunity to learn how to create a lasting piece of art in collaborative style.

We are not sure how long the project will take, but we can’t wait to see what Bri and her cadre of painters will create. Students paint library wall under direction of artist

Published on 03/30/26

Whitefish Community Library and Stumptown Art Studio are partnering to have a Mural Making Club. Starting Wednesday, April 1st, the After School at the Library program will focus on painting a mural at the Library.

Muralist Bri Leslie of Stumptown Art Studio will lead the Mural Making Club in painting a design on a wall in the Library’s hallway. Club members will learn how to take a design and place it on a large area, then how to use paints, including set up and clean up afterwards.

Join Bri from 2:30 to 4:30 on Wednesdays until the mural is complete. For ages 10-18 (grades 5-12). Donations to help pay the artist are being accepted.

ISO Green Thumb Volunteer

Published on 03/25/26

Whitefish Community Library is in need of a special volunteer for a special project: an inventory, pruning, and possible repotting of the Library’s collection of plants. Our former Plant Magician left our plants in excellent condition, but we know they need some extra nurturing to continue to nurture patrons and staff at the Library. If this sounds intriguing to you, call 406-862-9914 or stop in, and ask for Mary.
