In addition to the juried art and crafts for sale, the festival will donate 10 booth spaces to young artists to show their work, grades 1-12. 

In addition, the community will be invited to create a sculpture during the festival, which will then be donated to a local establishment, such as a library. There will also be a Creation Station at each festival where children can make crafts for a donation to Art is Smart.
