Art in the Aaron Douglas Art Park

I was honored to be the featured artist in this year's Aaron Douglas Art fair. It sometimes is amazing what an all volunteer committee will come up with. They had not only placed my "Windswept" artwork on the posters and t-shirts in full color they had also produced an outlined version of my artwork and placed it on t-shirts for the kids in the art tent to color for themselves. It was quite humbling to think that my artwork would have the opportunity to inspire young artists. To the left is a young artist sporting his own creation and his brother wearing the full color printed design. I was moved to see all of the young people in their t-shirts.

For the second annual event, the fair was blessed with absolutely wonderful weather. The crowd was large and appreciative which makes the experience for the artists exciting. Quality artists selected for this event which is a testimony to the serious intentions of the Topeka Turn Around Team to provide worthwhile event for the community at large and to be involved in the growth of the art awareness in Topeka. It was a very successful day and I would suggest to all art lovers to mark their calendars for next year's event which promises to be even better as this project grows.
