National Best Friends Day Arts and Craft Festival
Crafting Memories, One Friendship at a Time! Parks for the Arts – Bringing True Art Back to the Community - Sunday, June 8th from 9am-4pm. Parks for the Arts, a local nonprofit dedicated to revitalizing our community through authentic and accessible art, particularly for children and emerging artists. Parks for the Arts host community-focused art events that highlight creativity, connection, and culture, distinguishing ourselves from commercialized shows that often feature mass-produced items. Their events prioritize genuine artistry, showcasing handmade works and original creations. We believe that art should be an immersive experience, not just something to observe. A key aspect of our mission is to ensure affordability and inclusivity; many talented artists are often excluded from larger art fairs due to exorbitant vendor fees, which can exceed $100 per space. By offering low-cost booth fees, we aim to provide a platform for these artists, allowing them to share their work with the community. For more details click here!
