CANFIELD FAIR | New displays at Fine Arts building

CANFIELD

The Fine Arts building at the fairgrounds has new displays this year and, of course, more eye-catching art for fairgoers.

Last year, more than 2,000 people attending the Canfield Fair added their fingerprints to a picture for the Global Art Project for Peace.

The "Peace Soars" picture of two fingerprinted butterflies was sent to a school in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

In exchange, the school sent back an art project to promote peace.

Both projects are on display at the Fine Arts building located on Austintown Drive.

The building also has a public art project to benefit Compass Family and Community Services. Fairgoers can add a piece of colorful duct tape to a chair that will later be auctioned off to benefit Compass.

A new category, Miniatures in Art, is also on display.
