Art in the Park, August 20, 2017
Our 48th Annual Art in the Park was a great success!

We had a fantastic day, with over 50 artists, great live music, delicious food truck eats and a warm sense of community.

Music! We rocked all day with the high-energy Tamsen Donner Band, The Last Minute Band, UnConcord, Thomas Martin, and The Landbirds.

We thank Harriet Burt for being our MC, and many thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers and sponsors who make this event possible!

This is our premier fundraising event of the year, benefiting local graduating high school seniors with scholarships. The silent auction this year brought back our Fabulous Art Flock!

A big thank you to our sponsors!
