The finished caricatures also give guests something tangible to take home. Each drawing becomes a personalized keepsake that can remind visitors of the festival or community celebration long after the event has ended.

Street Fairs and Outdoor Events

Caricature artists can work at outdoor events when an appropriate setup is available, including adequate seating and protection from excessive sun, rain, or other unfavorable weather conditions.
Live caricatures are well suited for street fairs, outdoor festivals, town celebrations, community days, arts events, and other public gatherings throughout Boston and New England.

Caricatures can complement art exhibits, artist demonstrations, musical performances, cultural programming, food vendors, and other festival activities without competing with the overall character of the event.
Because every drawing is created individually, guests leave with an original piece of artwork connected to their experience at the festival.
