Student artists can apply for St. Charles Arts Council's ArtsFest

It will encompass venues throughout St. Charles that will feature the visual and performing art of student artists, kindergarten through college. Students are invited to participate. Performing artists will receive a stipend for their performance and visual artists' work will be available for sale.

ArtsFest features a student showcase at the Baker Community Center at 1 p.m. Sunday, March 6.
