Project Overview

Our goal at ArtSplash Art Fair is getting kids interested in learning about and producing their own art. A common theme at the Taylor Library is to start kids when they are young and help them develop a love for reading and the arts. At ArtSplash, we provided a children's make-and-take art booth. Each hour we had a new craft so the kids could keep coming back and make something different.
