Children + Art = Wonderful
It's important to support young artists - I think creating art is a wonderful way for children to express themselves and build their self-confidence. So when I heard that a Children's Arts Festival was being hosted by the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri, I made my way downtown to see what these young artists had created. It was a colorful exhibit with over 100 pieces of artwork on display and I so enjoyed looking and admiring each and every one.
All the work displayed at the art festival was beautifully created, but I thought a few were exceptional and wanted to highlight them in my blog (pictured below).
