Art Fair 2012

The annual WJMS Art Fair is on once again. It is the biggest show we've had in my 7 years here. The library is busting at the seams with about 450 drawings and paintings, about 80 ceramic pieces, and a large teacher art display. It was a lot of work and very stressful, especially being pregnant, but now that it's on display I'm very excited to be displaying so much talent. It never ceases to amaze me how much talent and creativity pours out of 12-15 year old kids. At the end of the year, when I'm tired and feeling run down by the job the Art Fair always rejuvenates me.
It was impossible to get a picture of the whole Art Fair since it stretched around almost the entire library.
We advertised like crazy this year and had a good turn out.
