A Weekend With the Visual Arts

November 20, 2009

Every November, the San Bernardino County Museum Association sponsors the Wild Life Art Festival. It began as an event that featured the winners of the Federal Duck Stamp art competition and has grown to include many nationally recognized wildlife artist who set up booths to show and sell their art.

The Federal Duck Stamp art is totally amazing in the attention to detail that these artists incorporate in their works. There will also be winners of the Junior Duck Stamp art competition.

In past years, this event has required paid admission, but this year the SBC Museum Association has made the event open to public with no admission charge. They are trying the "Give What You Can" approach which they hope will allow many more persons to come and enjoy the event. The festival will be held on the San Bernardino Museum grounds at 2024 Orange Tree Lane. The hours are 9a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The museum's education division with the help of its Youth Club will present a variety of hands-on art experiences for children. With help from the Ramona-Country Carvers, families can paint a duck or carve a bear out of soap.(You might bring your own bar of Ivory Soap).
