 "AUBURN MASK-ERPIECES!"
Some of Auburn’s favorite sculptures will be getting fun new mask accessories, and we want you to be a part of the fun too! Let’s all find ways to make our facemasks an opportunity for art! Decorate a mask, express yourself with color or fun patterns, and share your pictures with us, and ask yourself, how can our masks become a canvas for creativity? Share your pictures with us in our post on Facebook or email us at arts@auburnwa.gov
