Description :

On Tuesday, September 23 from 6:30-8:30pm, the Clapp Memorial Library will be hosting Handwriting the Constitution as a culminating event for Constitution Week. The library will provide copies of the Constitution to participants and a variety of paper, pens, and other art supplies will be available for people to use. Handwriting the Constitution is a social art project begun in 2017 by artist Morgan O’Hara. It invites people from all walks of life to meet in public spaces to handwrite the US Constitution or other documents written to protect human rights and freedoms. This art practice was created so that people will know their rights, deepen their understanding of laws created to protect these rights, and to help resist negative thinking. To date approximately 2000 people have participated, both nationally and internationally.
