This year exciting performing arts entertainment will add spice to the Butterfield Bank Art Festival on Sunday.

The annual event takes place at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art, in the Botanical Gardens, from 12 noon to 5 p.m.

Ms Evans added that there is a wide range of attractions and activities for the whole family.

?People can vote for their favourite piece of art for the People?s Choice award, there?ll be free arts-n-crafts, face painting and Popsicle?s, and professional artists competing in the Quick Art competition throughout the day.?

Other performances will be by United Dance Productions, Dellwood Dancers, Bermuda Fencing Federation, Salsa Dancers, Bermuda School of Music, Jackson School, Dragon Girls, Pride Bermuda, CedarBridge Academy Cheerleaders and Jargan Theatre.
