Artsplosure Brings Free Festival of Art and Jazz to Moore Square

Artsplosure will bring its annual Art and Jazz Festival to Moore Square this weekend.  Featuring a variety of music, tons of artisans, street shows for kids, collaborations and exhibits inside Exploris, life size chess games, sand sculpting and lots more, its sure to be as big a success as usual.  You can check out the www.artsplosure.com website for specific bands and times for shows, but for a totally free event you can expect to spend your entire weekend entertained. 

The Art Market consists of ceramics, jewelry, painting, photography, woodworking, and textile creations from all over the country.  Kidsplosure is geared at entertaining the little one with flower making, bubbles, a painting station, and a variety of children’s acts on the stage throughout the weekend. 

Venture over to Exploris for interactive experiences from all over the world, a chance to learn about the India culture, and a host of other fun features from all across the globe.

The event officially runs from 11am-7pm on Saturday and 11am-6pm on Sunday.  Parking is available all around Moore Square, but get there early to park closer.  Come by and celebrate the start of summer with amazing art, great live music, and delicious food.
