On Sunday, local artists, craftsmen, and performers plan to showcase and sell their various talents at the Douglaston Village Arts Festival. The festival, which will be held by the Long Island Railroad stop, will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. At the festival, as many as 40 artists, including painters, jewelers, and cake decorators, will display their neglected talents before the public. Also present at the festival will be local food vendors and face painters for children who attend.
For my article, I will not be focusing on the art festival itself– rather, I will be writing my article on some artists who are there. I will interview them to find out how they got there, what other jobs they have to support themselves, how difficult it is to be artists in small suburban Douglaston, and whether they need to pay money to exhibit their work there.
