For four days, June 23-26, the 2011 Utah Arts Festival on Library Square becomes home to 159 visual artists, more than 100 performing artists, a film festival and more. But the Festival isn't just for grown-ups. There's a whole world for kids at the Utah Arts Festival.

"Providing artistic opportunities for children and young adults to engage in the arts is one of the most important programs we do at the Festival," says Lisa Sewell, Utah Arts Festival Executive Director. "Giving them hands-on experiences is one of the best ways to encourage their artistic side and to build future artists."

The Festival has teamed with corporations and other non-profit organizations to ensure that a love for art is instilled at an early age. In the Art Yard, kids art projects are offered by Art Access/VSA Utah, Red Butte Garden, Salt Lake Art Center, Tracy Aviary, Utah Museum of Fine Arts and the Visual Art Institute. PB & J and ice cold milk are also available for kid appetites with all proceeds benefitting the Visual Arts Institute.

The Salt Lake City Library hosted Nano Days on Saturday, a free event that introduces children to nano-technology, science and robotics.

Demonstrations included memory wire, sand that can't get wet and lasers that control particles as samll as one-billionth of a meter. Organizers say the event aims to show kids that nano-technology is everywhere.

"Nano technology is applicable to our everyday lives. We see it," said Paulmichael Maxfield with the Natural History Musuem of Utah. "Nanotechnology is everywhere."

Though more than one in 10 American babies are born prematurely, there have been few clues to predict whether a particular baby is going to arrive too early – until now.

A new study suggests that more than 80 percent of pre-term births can be spotted in advance with a blood test taken during the second trimester of a pregnancy.
