This Saturday, the Albrecht Kemper Museum of Art is ready to host it's annual art fair, with unique gifts, art pieces, and much more from local artists.
The Art Fair will run from 10am to 8pm on Saturday. Marketing & Communications Manager Madison McKinley says the free event is a full day of local and regional artists selling their creations at the museum.
"We're going to have Bell's Bakehouse for our food vendor, we also have kid's activities, live music, all kinds of stuff going on," McKinley says on the KFEQmunnity show. "It's going to be a busy fun day."
This year, the Art Fair will also expand beyond the Albrecht Kemper in a way, sharing the day and partnering along with the Noyes Home as their block party goes on.
Director Eric Fuson says there will be a lot going on over there as well that people can participate in during the day.
"They'll have some food later in the day, I think they start something like 4pm, and I think they're going to have a kickball tournament with some celebrities and stuff, so that'll be a lot of fun" Fuson explains. "I don't think most people realize that the back of our lot, if you go back to the very back, we're right up against the Noyes Homes lot as well, so we've cut a little pathway through there so they can cut back and forth between the two if they want to."
"And we're going to see how this goes and see what we can do on into the future of making a whole block party out of it."
The block party at the Noyes Home will run from 4 to 7pm, starting with the fun and games, food around 5pm, and the kickball tournament starting around 6pm
Vendors for the Art Fair will be set up both inside and outside of the museum. There will also be free admission into the museum that day, allowing people to experience the museum possibly for the first time ever.
