HALLOWELL — The Harlow Gallery recently announced the series of free community art-related events has workshops scheduled through June 2016 and plans to continue the series throughout 2016.

A variety of activities are planned for 2-4 p.m. the second Sunday of every month at the Harlow Gallery, 160 Water St. These events are free and open to the public. Some materials are provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own as well.
