Sioux City ArtSplash – more Labor Day fun

Northwest Iowans can check out sculpture, photography, jewelry and all sorts of other artwork at this weekend’s annual ArtSplash Festival in Sioux City. Fest coordinator Candy Gaskill, at the Sioux City Art Center, says this promises to be the biggest show yet. In addition to 96 artists from 18 states, there will be 20 hands-on art projects for kids and adults — ranging from spin-art t-shirts and sun visors for the kids to pottery and basket-weaving for adults. Gaskill says all sorts of art will be on display and on sale. While everyone has a different perception of what art is, Gaskill says the prices are designed to appeal to everyone’s tastes. The festival along the Missouri riverfront runs through tomorrow. For more information, surf to “www.siouxcityartcenter.com”
