Artists may be observed as they work “en plein air,” and children may participate in games and activities. Food - including homemade baked goods - will available for purchase. Artwork may be acquired for set prices, and bids may be placed in a silent auction of quality items

The “Roadside Attractions” art exhibit will be on display in the LCAA’s Kauffman Gallery from July 22 to Thursday, Aug. 16.
