I couldn’t pass up an outing this weekend when one of A Day’s Outing’s fans on Facebook posted that she was showing her art at a nearby fair. My daughter was up for a drive so we took a day trip to Richmond, VA.
Arts on the Grove was a small, but lovely art fair. There were artists showing glasswork, beaded jewelry, photography and paintings. They had lots of hands-on activities for children, face painting and a special music area with every imaginable type of stringed instrument for children to try. They did a great job of making the fair a true family event.
And, the art we had come to see was wonderful. Pam Connolly’s silk paintings are whimsical, light hearted and simply make you smile. She also had fabulous note cards and handmade t-shirts on hand. I snapped up a Cupcake t-shirt with beads sewn on as non-pariells up for my daughter.
Art fairs, whether they are big or small, offer a chance to see a range of work by truly creative people. Try finding one near you.
