Young artists exhibit is planned

The Northville Art House will present the sixth annual Young Artist Juried Art Fair, from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturday, March 19 at Mill Race Village, 215 Griswold St, Northville.

More than 30 young artists, ranging in grades 2 - 12, will showcase their diverse artistic talents and be selling their original artwork during this one-day indoor fair. Featured work will include acrylic, watercolor, illustrations, jewelry, mixed media, fiber art, photography and much more.  A family friendly community activity is planned in the school building where guests create their own artwork to be transformed into a full-size flag raised at the Northville Art House.

New this year, the show has  partnered with the Northville Historical Society at Mill Race Village with premier sponsorship by Community Financial, and non-profit sponsors including the Northville District Library and the Plymouth Community Arts Council. 

The event will open and close with a ringing of the historic Hirsch Building bell. Sharing their musical gifts will be the Hillside and Meads Mill elementary school singers of REMIX acapella, The Music Students of Lynda Fulgenzi and the Northville High School Honors Musicians, among other musicians. The young artists and musicians will be located throughout the Mill Race campus.

Mill Race Village will have demonstrations by the Weavers Guild in the Weaver's Cottage, free guided tours starting in the Yerkes home, and gifts and merchandise for sale in the General Store. In addition, the Northville Historical Society will provide a complimentary take home craft. 

There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door to support the Young Artist Juried Art Fair. Those 12 and younger will be admitted at no cost. For more information, call (248) 344-0497 or visit  https://northvillearthouse. org/yaaf/.
