AFB ART FAIR @ WOODLAND PARK 2010
Now in its 35th year, the AFB Art Fair @ Woodland Park is Lexington’s largest, free, outdoor cultural event with over 65,000 visitors coming to Woodland Park during the two-day event.  While the name is new, the Fair will have all of the wonderful artists and activities for which it has become known, including 200 of the nation’s finest juried artists, free live entertainment on the Gazebo Stage, free hands-on art activities for children and families in the Kid Zone, great Kentucky food and plenty of opportunities to bump into friends. The 2010 Fair will take place on Saturday, August 21 and Sunday, August 22, 20109 at beautiful Woodland Park near downtown Lexington.  The Fair is produced by LAL in partnership with the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government’s Division of Parks and Recreation and American Founders Bank with support from many sponsors.  The Fair has received several national, regional and local honors including being voted a Top 15 Fine Art & Design Show in the nation by Sunshine Artist Magazine, a Top 20 Event by The Southeast Tourism Society and a Top 10 Festival by The Kentucky Tourism Council.  The AFB Art Fair @ Woodland Park is a significant asset to Lexington and supports LAL’s vision of making visual art the lens through which central Kentucky distinguishes itself as a progressive, inclusive and vibrant region.
