-- The Downtown Merchants are planning Street Fairs this spring, summer, and fall.  The merchants believe it would be very nice for these events to have artists actively sketching/drawing/painting on the lawn area of Fountain Square.  For this first Street Fair on 8 May, there will be no vendor fee for those who wish to participate.  Participants can also sell their art if they desire.  If you think of Venice, Paris, etc. a very common sight is artists capturing what is before them on canvas.  If you’re interested, please contact Mike at 321-525-9213.  Folks can set up starting at 8 am, and the event will go from 9 to 2pm.  Here’s the announcement:
