One-Person Art Show for Resident Artist:Each year since 2007 one of our Artists is chosen to be the Park’s Resident Artist for the year. This artist is featured at our January Art Show and we offer the artist with a One Person Art Show the first Saturday in December. The artist is invited to work in the park one day a month. At the gate, you can check the bulletin board to see if the artist is working on that day. We are fortunate that resident artists continue to participate in our annual Art Show in January. |
