Young at Art 2020 – Postponed

• • 
• Unfortunately, due to the threat of coronavirus, COVID-19, we have decided to postpone Young at Art. As information about the coronavirus continues to evolve, we have determined that a public event bringing out the whole family is too risky. It is always our intention to provide our participants with an outstanding experience while ensuring their safety, and at this time we need to play it safe. Once a revised date for the expo has been determined we will share that with our partners and the community.

• “From the point we entered the door, it was non-stop enjoyment for my family. My daughter truly enjoyed visiting each vendor and while doing so, I was quite impressed on how educational each station was. My daughter was able to learn new things, while having fun. Every parent’s dream!”

• “Everyone in attendance was ‘into’ the Arts and was either looking around or had a particular mission for the event. All that I spoke to were very excited to be there and could easily maneuver the exhibitor booths. The set up was also ideal as all exhibitors were easy to find.”
