Whether molding new sculptures, painting new canvases or even painting directly onto the clothing of willing attendees, creativity was brimming across every aisle. Here are some examples:

Nicole Durand of Nicole Durand Creations garnered a captive audience as she demonstrated her sculpting technique.

Alfred Alexandar Gockel created a colorful new painting in the Fine Art Editions/MAC Fine Art booth along Center Court.

Artist Jesse Powell, son of veteran Colville artist John Powell, was thrilled with the reception of his work.

Sculptor Alice Riordan created a new day masterpiece in the Meisner Gallery booth.

In the Media Arts booth, the vibrant colors and animated strokes of artist Simon Bull drew crowds to Center Court.
