How lucky are we to live in a city of artists!  Piccolo Spoleto offers wonderful opportunities for children to immerse themselves in the arts.  We are packing in the Spoleto activities this week, our first of summer.  You can find a comprehensive list of events here.

Today, we kicked it all off with a picnic at Marion Square, surrounded by the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition.  My children loved strolling through the tents, listening to artists talk about their work.  Several were painting on-site and my kids could have watched them for hours.

Before heading home, we stopped in for ice cream cones at Republic Ice Cream Shop.  Just the right stop after our afternoon in the sunshine!  You can visit the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition at Marion Square from 10am-5pm through June 9th.
