FRIENDS OF THE SIERRA MADRE 
LIBRARY ANNUAL ART FAIR

The 51st annual Friends of the Sierra Madre Library’s Art Fair 
will be held in Memorial Park, 222 West Sierra Madre Blvd, Sierra 
Madre, on Saturday, May 4, from 9:30AM to 6:00PM and Sunday, 
May 5, from 9:30AM to 5:00PM. More than 90 artists will be 
displaying and selling their fine arts throughout the weekend. 
Mediums include oil painting, jewelry, water colors, glass, wood, 
metal, photography, pottery, ceramics, mixed media, and weaving. 
The Art Fair will be the place to be to find that perfect Mother’s 
Day, graduation, or wedding gift and to find pieces that you will 
be proud to wear or to display in your home.

Live music will be featured throughout the weekend in the band 
shell and on the south lawn. Guests will enjoy an eclectic selection 
of music ranging from country jazz to Latin to classical flute 
and guitar. A food court will offer a variety of food and drinks 
provided by local non-profit groups as well as food vendors. And, 
of course, the Friends of the Library will have a booth selling their 
famous sweet breads and quick breads. For the children, the 
Creative Arts Group has planned a Chinese kite making activity 
on Saturday and Sunday from 10am-4pm.

This year we will again have a silent auction. So far, forty of the 
artists who are displaying and selling their creations at this year’s 
fair have donated lovely, one-of-a-kind pieces for the auction 
which means that you’ll have a chance to bid on some really 
beautiful artwork. 

So come early and stay all day. Browse through the wonderful 
displays of artwork, sit on the lawn and listen to music, have a 
little lunch, check on your silent auction bids, and then go back 
and purchase those lovely pieces of art that have been calling your 
name ever since you spotted them. Proceeds from the Art Fair 
benefit the Sierra Madre Library. For more information, visit our 
website at sierramadrelibraryfriends.org or call 626 355-7186.


We’d like to hear from you!
