SMART Fair
Art is not only visual, it can be audible, edible, interactive and tactile. At the SMART Fair this is demonstrated, free to the public, through a family-oriented day of art workshops. The goal of the fair is to introduce and share the many facets of art, from floral arts, to percussion to children's theatre. In a community setting, artists demonstrate their knowledge and professions with families with the intent of "Raising Awareness of The Arts."
