With art for show and sale, delicious food, music, and children's activities, the Art Fair is one of Topeka's premier fun events.
Artists come from all over the United States to display and sell their work to fair visitors.
To insure that the art is of the highest quality, a maximum of 75 artists are chosen by two jurors. This year's jurors are the painter Phil Epps and the ceramicist Elaine Henry. At right, Salina ceramicist Brad Anderson discusses his work with a visitor at the 2000 Art Fair. At the children's tent, volunteers provide a range of creative activities for the young and young at heart. At left, a young artist experiments with the best of all brushes, the human hand.
