HYDE PARK — The "ambassador of hair affairs" will preside over a free Hair Fair on Aug. 1.
Official Ambassador for Hair Affairs Mather Seerlo, the alter ego of artist M.T. Searle, will host an afternoon of hair events from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 1 in the courtyard of the Smart Museum of Art, 5550 S. Greenwood Ave.
For the afternoon, everything will be about hair. Artists will give free haircuts, there will be a hairdo contest and a barbershop quartet will sing.
For kids there will be activities — some of them with real hair — like helping to make a giant wig helmet, using hair mops to paint and other art projects.
Snacks, including the Greek pastry kataifi that looks like hair, will be served.
All materials will be provided and the activities are best for kids age 4-12.
