If you were strolling through the St. Michaels Farmer’s Market on a
recent beautiful fall Saturday, and among the chrysanthemums and
cabbages you noticed a group of very young and enthusiastic
artists painting, you no doubt happened upon the Children’s Art
Day.
This annual event is sponsored by the St. Michaels Art League to
interest local elementary school children in the arts. As it has
turned out, this has not been a problem! Each year over 20
budding artists eagerly grab some brushes, paints and a canvas
and set about creating a masterpiece (or two). In our fast-paced
world of video games and action toys, it was reassuring to see how
quickly our novice artists became totally involved in making art.
Throughout the morning the children were assisted by local artists
from the St. Michaels Art League. Judging by the broad smiles on
the children’s faces, and the treasured paintings being carried out
of the park, this effort has clearly been an unqualified success.
We hope to see you all this September - see Calendar for this
year's date.
