Head to the Spencer Museum of Art, 1301 Mississippi St., this Saturday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. for its first Arts Festival. The event will feature live music, live arts performance pieces and an art sale on the museum’s front lawn. Attendees can also help create a painting installation and practice unique painting methods, such as painting with their feet. More activities will be held inside the museum, such as additional craft activities and face painting. Megan Turner, Olathe senior and president of the Spencer Museum of Art Student Advisory Board, says the committee wanted to make the event something everyone in the community would enjoy. “There will be a nice collection and examples of art from not only on the KU campus, but also artists in the Lawrence community,” Turner says. “We thought this was something lacking on campus, and it’s an opportunity for people to get a feel of what’s happening art-wise right now.”
