County Fair exhibit <em>From the Industrial Age to the Computer Age . . . Three Centuries of Artistic Innovation.<\/em><br \/>\nThe Industrial Revolution changed not only how the world worked in agriculture, manufacturing and transport, but also affected everyday life and the arts.<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re visiting the Smithsonian as this exhibit transports you through time from the early 1700s to the 20th Century. Working models of landmark technologies \u2013 the steam engine, the printing press, photography, and more \u2013 show how new materials, such as stainless steel, titanium, plastics, synthetic fibers, and acrylics revolutionized art and expression. There\u2019s also going to be a 1\/2-scale model of the Wright Brothers bi-plane (with a 25-foot wingspan!) that ushered in the era of flight.<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019re looking at the art of invention and what the new methods and products of the Industrial Revolution did to change the lives of artists and ways to create art,\u201d said Tony Sheets, curator of the MSCAF.<br \/>\nFairguests will enjoy art-making up close as 40 artists-in-residence use many of those once-revolutionary materials for demonstrations in glasswork, weaving, printmaking, painting, ceramics and sculpture every day. Kids can express themselves artistically in the craft room set aside each year with the materials and assistance necessary for young and old to explore their imaginations.<br \/>\nGet more details about <em>From the Industrial Age to the Computer Age . . .
