Find “Art”:
The official Wyandotte Street Fair logo named “Art” is one of the earliest creative images
representing the fair. Arts likeness was found on an early Street Art Fair poster in the
archival collections of the Wyandotte Museum. Again this year, “Art” will be hidden
among the art. Find “Art” and bring him back to the Information Booth to win an official
“Find Art in Wyandotte” keepsake magnet.
