Art in the Park[ing Lot] 2008

June 13-14, 2008

Art in the Park[ing Lot] is a community art fair, presented by Chesterfield Arts, every year on Father's Day weekend. The event features art booths featuring regional artists, hands-on art activities for children and adults, performances, workshops and more. Started in 2002 as a way to showcase the local artistic talent to audiences in West County and beyond, it has grown from a small one-day event into a two-day festival, with more than 3500 in attendance last year.  New for 2008 - Art in the Park becomes Art in the Park[ing Lot]!  The event will move from Faust Park to the area directly between Chesterfield Arts and the Chesterfield Mall.  This higher visibility location will be an exciting change and bring an even bigger audience growth in 2008.

2008 Jurors

Sarah Colby, mixed media artist and Arts + Healthcare Coordinator for Barnes-Jewish Hospital
