Tomorrow's Stars is a youth art fair, showcasing young artists ages 8-18, in various media from painting, to photography to drawing and jewelry. Celebrating its 7th anniversary in 2011, this event features about 40 young artists, who get the unique opportunity to experience an art fair alongside professional artists. Tomorrow's Stars is held in the early afternoon on Saturday and Sunday of the art fair inside Calhoun Square on Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street.
The performance stage is a great place to take a break from browsing, sit down and have a cold drink. Live performers in the past have included belly dancers, magic shows, dance bands, improvisational comedy and more. This isn't just any song and dance. Stop by the parking lot of Old Chicago restaurant on Hennepin Avenue to check it out.
The Wine Garden and Celebrity Art Auction can be found inside the Suburban World Theatre on Hennepin Avenue. The perfect place to cool off, Barefoot Wine and BubblyTM supplies the vino. While you're there, peruse the artwork on display. In addition to a slide presentation of all the artists on display in the Uptown Art Fair, you can also check out a showcase of art pieces created by local TV and radio personalities, dignitaries, athletes and authors, in conjunction with an Uptown artist. The silent auction takes place throughout the weekend and proceeds go to a charitable cause.
The Family Imagination Station provides the perfect environment for kids to get their hands dirty. Not only will professional ceramicists be demonstrating how they turn lumps of clay into works of art, but visitors can receive a one-on-one demonstration and create their own pieces. The activity is free and demonstrations are done by the staff at Northern Clay Center.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
