Indianapolis Talbot Street Art Fair

Since we were at church already about a block away, we visited the Talbot Street Art Fair today in north downtown Indianapolis. Free, but not really a kids event. It is apparently a premiere art festival in the US and there was some pretty cool glass and clothing and of course paintings. The boys were actually more interested than I would have expected. We spent several minutes inside a handblown glass stall where Isaac said, "Cool. Who made that?" and the man said "I did" and explained things for a while, while letting the boys feel it with one finger.

They, and Jack too, also really like these coffee tables and light fixtures where you looked in the glass and basically saw rows of seemingly endless small lights. They didn't care for Ethan putting his hand on the table at that one though and were busy wiping when we left.

It's worth checking out next time it comes to town and while not for kids is still kid friendly. There was supposedly face painting and maybe other activities but we didn't make it all the way down the 4 blocks to see.
