The Rock County Historical Society is busy getting ready for the Tallman Arts Festival on August 7th. This year’s theme is Art @ PLAY; attendees will be able to take part in hands-on activities at various “PLAY” stations to unleash their artistic side.
Attendees will be able to see a range of art styles on display, including hand woven baskets, photographs, quilts, stone work, glass designs, woodworking, paintings, sketches, jewelry, and more. The vendors’ work, as well as the official Tallman Arts Festival poster, will be available for purchase.
During the festival, Stephen and Cameron Pickering will be running a fun-filled event for kids called Young@Art. There will be arts and crafts available for children of all ages. This year, some activities include squirt gun painting, paper plate masks, and face painting.
