As usual, children’s art attracted a lot of attention at this year’s Skinker-DeBaliviere Art Fair.

The works were collected and organized by Joyce Stone, chairperson, and Deborah Bracey.

The judges, Gabriel Suarez and Wendy Walsh, labored long to make their final decisions. Miss Walsh, a graduate of Lesley College in Boston, is an artist and teacher at the New City School. Suarez is a graphic designer and graduate student in the School of Fine Arts at Washington University.

He has had considerable experience with children’s art in his native Colombia.
