Photo: Students of the Godbey School of Art paint the town “flags” in honor of the 4th of July. We recently saw their work being sold at\u00a0 Art Walk <\/a> on Balboa Island, Calif. \u00a0 Balboa Island loves art and hosts the annual ‘Just Plein Fun<\/a>‘ July 30 -August 4, 2012. Watch award-winning artists paint scenes on the Island in a unique plein air invitational. On Saturday, August 4th, there will be a ‘Brush Off’ on Marine Avenue from 4-6 p.m., public invited to watch. See more annual events.<\/p>\n

There’s more to life than fireworks this 4th of July. In fact, when you see a creative piece of art it may speak to you in a way that sparks something inside your soul, much like the sensation of seeing the sky light up in colors and designs. Fireworks are actually a form of art so it seems only fitting that the art festivals and street fairs would go hand in hand with 4th of July and its symbols–flags & fireworks shows.<\/p>\n
