A Judging Panel of Local Artists

Challenge Tuesday, June 1–Wednesday, June 30 for Adults & Teens The New Lenox Library will be hosting a Visual Art Challenge open to both Adults as well as Teens in Grades 7–12. The event is part of our 2021 Summer Learning Challenge Reading Colors Your World! We look forward to this opportunity to celebrate our community's creativity!

Please submit your paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, digital art—whatever type of art you make, we want it! Full details, rules, and submission forms can be found on our website at newlenoxlibrary.org/artcontest.

Sue Shanahan has spent her career as an artist bringing children to life in her illustrations. In addition to contributing work to various children’s books and magazines, she has been commissioned by such clients as Walt Disney World and Auyrn Inc. Oprah Winfrey has purchased Sue’s art for her private collection and had her as a guest on her “Favorite Things” show. Sue’s work has also found its way into the White House, where her portrait of Chelsea Clinton hung in the former First Lady’s study. @sueshanahanart on Instagram Mokena-based artist Kimberly Carter is an illustrator and licensed surface designer. Whether drawing digitally, with pen and ink or painting with watercolor or gouache, her work spans multiple disciplines; sometimes it’s a combination of both digital and analogue.

Whatever the medium might be, she is passionate about creating art for kids, sweet characters and custom hand lettering. Her art can be found on greeting cards, gift bags, giftwrap, home decor and children’s products. @kimberly_k_carter on Instagram Additional judges listed on our website.
