The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is looking for people to volunteer for the 2022 Artwork Committee. Committee members will be expected to look at sketches for program year 2022 (Oceanography, Oceans of Possibility, artist Sophie Blackall) and evaluate them from a culturally authentic viewpoint and provide constructive criticism to ensure posters and spot art are inclusive and reflective of the diverse communities we serve.

What feedback would you give the artist if these images were submitted? What sticks out or resonates with you? What might a child take away from these images? There is no right or wrong answer, we are just hoping to see your thought process in evaluating the artwork and providing thoughtful and constructive feedback
