Bend Art Center kicks off a new annual event, Weekend of Art, this April 26-29. Take in a variety of local art exhibits, visit the Invitational Print Fair, catch an art talk, and make art in the A6 Print Studio. Weekend of Art also includes the debut of the Bend Art Conference for artists and collectors. Most programs are free or low-cost. Find art experiences for all ages at bendartweekend.com.
