Gloria
from Miami's Review, 11/03: The art work was absolutely beautiful
(at least, most of it)!
There were some things I wouldn't have touched with a ten foot pole,
but they were still interesting. If you like art shows, you really should
think about scheduling a vacation during this time.
After we did the art part of the festival we walked through PI and over to the Marketplace where the chalk artists were doing their thing on the sidewalks. This type of art totally amazes me! ...so much work to be washed away by the first rain!
