Georgia O’Keeffe once said, “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.”
Most artists feel the same way, and art lovers will have a chance to see how those expressions have come to life in the colorful paintings, unique jewelry, intriguing sculpture, striking photography, glass and ceramic works and many other one-of-a-kind creations that will be on display – and for sale – at the Webster Arts Fair, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 7, 8 and 9.
The Webster Arts Fair is committed to high-quality art in a warm and friendly environment, where patrons are known to take a personal interest in the artists and their work. Artists at the 2019 fair will exhibit and sell works in ceramics and clay, digital media, fiber, glass, jewelry, metal, 2D and 3D mixed media, painting, photography, sculpture, wood and works on paper.
The Webster Arts Fair is produced by Webster Arts, a nonprofit organization that provides free art experiences to people of all ages and abilities throughout the year.
Musical entertainment will provide a live soundtrack for the fair all three days on three stages on the festival grounds. Entertainment ranges from Jake’s Leg and the Aaron Griffin Blues Band, to Roland Johnson & Soul Endeavor, and the St. Louis Teen Talent Competition acts. Aspiring performers can take the stage during an open mic session. In all, 47 acts will perform.
