The Creative Arts
Children's Art Fair
The 3rd annual Children's Art Fair was held at the Cemanhuac
Community Education Center,
on Sunday March 25th, and was a resounding success. The biggest
ever, 61 budding artists from 21 local schools were on hand to display
their art work. Hundreds of people, CAC members, parents art lovers and teachers strolled
through the beautiful school grounds admiring the art work.
The show was so successful the CAC was asked by the Jardin Borda
to put on another show there in June.
I am not an artist but I have to say
that I really enjoyed walking through the exhibits and talking to the
artists. Almost all the artists attend private school and are accomplished
at speaking English. Most spoke English much better then I speak
Spanish. On this page are a few pictures of the show. Click on the
link below to see some of what I thought were the better pictures at the
Fair. Please note that I am not an art critic or judge. I just
selected pictures that I liked.

effect.
