Project Overview
An integral part of our annual ArtSplash Art Fair is getting people in learning about and producing their own art. A common theme at our library us to start when kids are young and grow them into readers and/or artists. To that end, we provided a children's make it/take it booth at ArtSplash this year, providing a stipend to 5 artists who each provided a different hour-long art experience for kids attending the art fair. We also provided stipends for 3 face painters who not only provided the kids with a fun decoration, but also showed that art comes in many forms.

Measurable Outcome(s)
Anecdotally, I would say 100% of the kids were happy with everything. The lines were short and there were plenty of supplies so no one was turned away. The kids seemed to really enjoy the variety of art projects and they were easily completed.
