Artists of every medium are sought. Because the goal of the Arts Fair is to be an im- mersive arts experience for the artists and the commu- nity, artists are also asked, if possible, to provide a live demonstration of their art and, ideally, to provide the community with hands-on arts lessons or projects dur- ing the day.
