celebration of the performing and visual arts. A juried art show
featuring the works of local, regional and national artists, this event
welcomes up to 80 artists yearly. A full schedule of music, dance and
theatrical performances throughout the festival grounds complements the
art and attracts a diverse crowd. Other activities designed to enhance
the Summer Festival of the Arts include the Festival of Nations, where
ethnic groups comprising the cultures of those residing in the Mahoning
Valley display artifacts and sell food; an extensive children's
hands-on art tent; a silent auction, numerous displays and activities
sponsored by community arts and cultural groups, a 5K race and, new
