The annual art fair at the Albrecht Kemper Museum of Art in St. Joseph is coming up tomorrow.
Executive Director Eric Fuson says the event will be out on the lawn of the museum throughout the day tomorrow
"We've got about 17 artists that are going to be out with all their wears and their creations," Fuson says on the KFEQmunnity show. "And then we have bands all day, about every hour we've got another band coming on, so we've got a lot of great local talent and a band from Kansas City as well."
Fuson says the types of music people will hear is a wide variety
"We kind of do a little bit of everything so, we're going to start off with the Renaissance Brass guys, there's a group from right here in town, some of them are Missouri Western professors and former professors, and they just get together and play," Fuson explains. "So, they're going to start off with some Renaissance music and then move into some Beatles, all on brass instruments, which is actually amazing and sounds fantastic out there on the patio."
The first act will take the stage at 10am with performances running until 7pm. Food trucks, like Kona Ice, will also be on hand
Fuson says artist vendors will also be on hand, with many of them being from around the St. Joseph and Kansas City area.
"They really are kind of the heart and soul of the art community around (the area), they all create their own work," Fuson says. "It's a jury thing so we really kind of look and see whose making good stuff, so there's really good things to choose from."
The event runs from 10am until 8pm tomorrow. It is free to attend.
