The World Artist Network is hosting Artist for a Day at Sherman Green in Fairfield, CT on Saturday, August, 20, 2011 from 10 am to 3 pm. The Sherman Green is located at the Post Road (Rt. 1) at Reef Rd. in Fairfield, CT. There will be materials and media for children and adults alike to express themselves and explore.

World Artist Network is a non-profit arts outreach organization based in Fairfield County. I met Valeria Garrido Bisceglia of WAN in May at the City by the Sea Art Fair in May. Now that arts funding is so scarce for many public schools, it's great to see organizations stepping up to the plate and offering people of all ages the opportunity to experience the value (and fun) of visual expression.
