Whimsical art, vibrant and playful in style, is unusual, playful, and unpredictable, rather than serious and practical. It is characteristically (but not necessarily) bright, colorful, and fun. Whimsical art, childlike and carefree, is commonly associated with children's book illustrations and fairy tale art.

See how TAVA members discovered their carefree side and created fanciful, playful, or odd scenes for an exhibit that lifts the spirit and tries to make the viewer happy.
