Ellen Harvey, fine arts curriculum specialist for Charlotte County schools, hung student art at Artsensation 2011. This year, there will be a plein air art contest, with the first prize of $500 for adults and $100 for students.
Painters, performers and potters are just a few of the local artists who will demonstrate and sell their art at the 21st annual Artsensation, planned for Friday, Nov. 2 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center. Admission is $2 — free for children under 12 — and once inside there is no charge for workshops and demonstrations.
“The past few years the festival was only for one day, but this year we’re back to two days,” said Judy Malbuisson, executive director of the Arts & Humanities Council, which sponsors the arts festival.
