Inspired by this year’s theme, “Waving at the Future With a Pen and a Paintbrush: Healing Is Our Happiest Art,” the fair will explore the intersection of education, art, and mental health through keynote speakers, performances, breakout sessions, interactive activities, community resources, and more throughout the day.
