On South Hicks Street outside the Community Center, there will be public performances by various groups.
Wadey Bunch Farm will bring their Highland cows to the event, and visitors will be ble to get photos with the cows for $5.
Inside the library, there will be free craft activities for kids, and in the parking lot outside, there will be an array of food trucks and kiosks.
The Mosaic Color Run will kick off the event, beginning at 9 a.m. from the parking lot across from the Community Center.
The rest of the event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The main event, coordinated by art teachers from the three Clinton elementary schools, will be the more than 1,000 pieces of artwork from the city’s schoolchildren on display inside the Community Center.
This year’s art theme for the Clinton elementary school students will be America’s 250th birthday, said Katherine Birkbeck, executive director of Historic Downtown Clinton.
Vendors will be set up in the parking lot next to the library featuring handmade ceramics and jewelry, acrylics, oil paintings, hand-painted bottles with fairy lights, bookmarks, wood carvings, hand lettering, edge art engravings, botanical illustrations, mixed media, and more.
The Mosaic Arts Festival is presented by Historic Downtown Clinton in conjunction with the city of Clinton and Clinton City Schools.
There are no admissions charges to any of the events.
