WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Paintings, glass work, jewelry, photography and pottery by 35 artists from eight counties will fill West Lafayette’s Tapawingo Park on Sunday, September 20, from 10:00a to 4:00p for the fourth annual “Art on the Wabash, a Local Artists’ Fair.”
Kathleen Kitch, who works primarily with kiln-formed (fused) glass, is one of the Greater Lafayette artists whose work will be featured at Art on the Wabash.
The public is invited and admission is free, with free parking available in the Wabash Landing parking garage for those attending the fair. The artists will be on hand to talk about their art; some will demonstrate their work.
Purdue University Galleries will bring its ArtCart, offering free, hands-on art activities to those attending.
“This fair showcases the unique creativity and diverse talents of artists from this area, and gives residents and visitors an opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind artwork,” said Beverly Shaw, Art on the Wabash committee chair. “It’s also inspiring and interesting to browse the art and enjoy a day in the park.”
Artists from a 15-county area were invited to apply for the fair. Those who will participate were chosen in a juried process by Indiana artist Kathleen Dugan of Noblesville, an assistant professor of art and design at Anderson University. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Indiana University’s School of Fine Arts and master’s of fine arts from Yale University.
