Swann and Rome avenues will be flavored with over 200 art exhibits throughout the 14th annual Hyde Park Art Festival, Saturday and Sunday.
The variety of media includes oil and watercolor paintings, metal and steel sculptures, wildlife photography, stained glass, acrylic and furniture, produced by nationally renowned artists.
One of the show's artists is too young to carry a driver's license but old enough to produce marketable works of art.
By the time she was 10, Alina Eydel, now 13, was drawing sketches and having them printed on large canvases, where she would later paint them with acrylic and oil paints.
Edyel's light-hearted paintings are exhibited in art galleries around the country and will be on display at the show.
She and other artists will be on hand to meet and greet spectators.
Pianist Jeffrey Michael and sitarist Stephen Mikes will provide musical entertainment.
Art prices range from $20 to $50,000. Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. For more information, visit www.artfestival.com or call 251-3500.
