Open Arts Fest!

This weekend, July 21 & 22, 2012, is Boulder’s Open Arts Fest!  What does that mean?

From the Downtown Boulder website: “Local artists will be joined by artists from around the country (and the world!), providing demonstrations and showcasing their work. There will be exciting children’s art activities, a silent auction benefiting OpenArts Zeff Fund for Arts Education and Ed Links – and much, much more!”
