Art in the Park

Begun in 1959, Art in the Park is the largest fine arts festival and a staple event in mid-Missouri.

The festival features artists from across the United States, displaying a variety of media including painting, drawing, photography, pottery, jewelry, fibers, sculpture, wood and glass. Every first weekend in June, you and your family can enjoy a unique experience in arts, hands-on activities, live music and entertainment; while finding special gifts and keepsakes – from stylish sculpture to one-of-a-kind coffee mugs, jewelry, paintings and so much more.

Foster creativity and the love for arts in your children by making art at the Kid’s Art Spot, designing a tie-dye t-shirt, having their faces painted, or buying something for their own collection at the Young Collector’s Tent.

Art in the Park is organized by Columbia Art League. Entrance to the festival is free.
