This weekend, Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, will be host to the second annual Long Island Fine Arts Festival. With 125 artists represented, this promises to be a well attended event if history is any indication. Last year's estimates of attendance for the weekend event came in at 30,000, an impressive number for an inaugural year. There is no cost for admission, but you might want to carry enough money to take away your favorite piece.
When: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, May 21 - 22
Where: Eisenhower Park, Kite Field, Parking Lot 6
You'll be able to find photographs, paintings and drawings as well as three dimentional art by emerging artists and established professionals. This is a great way to spend a relaxing afternoon with the whole family.
A visual person by nature, I've always been drawn to art shows and have spent hours admiring the talent of the artists in their chosen media. I've acquired some of my favorites pieces for my own home over the years at events like this. You just might find me wandering around the booths this weekend if time allows.
