The 57th Art in the Park is back again this year with over 110 artists! Rain or shine, find the art at Stephens Lake Park (2001 E Broadway—at the intersection of Broadway and Old U.S. Highway 63). Created and managed by the Columbia Art League (CAL), Art in the Park includes strolling entertainment, a children’s art area, an Emerging Artist Pavilion with work by local high school and undergraduate students, a Young Collector’s Tent, musical and magical entertainment, a food court, and over 110 artists!

Parking: Free parking is available at the Boone Hospital Center lot across Old Highway 63. The free shuttle, provided by Columbia Parks & Recreation, runs from the Boone Hospital lot to the park entrance throughout the festival. Please do NOT park across Broadway in front of Clovers as that space is reserved for their customers.

Dogs Policy: CAL requests that dogs not be brought to the park during the festival due to the large crowds, including small children, and stressed dogs and small children are not a great combination. The one rule is NO RETRACTABLE LEASHES. They have caused some serious problems in the past. Please keep your dogs close to you and you will be less likely to have to pay for breakages.

For Kids

  • Kid’s Art Spot (sponsored by the Boone Electric Community Trust)
  • Young Collectors Tent (sponsored by Rotts & Gibbs LLC): Kids aged 5-14 can start their own art collections. We’ll have a tent full of small, hand-made artworks created and donated by the Art in the Park exhibiting artists and also Columbia Art League artists. Entrance costs $5 and includes the work of art chosen by the young collector. The Young Collectors Tent is a children-only tent so parents should meet their child at the exit.
  • Artful Science tent, where you’ll find lots of fiendishly clever Mizzou scientists engaged in hands-on noisy and fun experiments.

More!

  • Emerging Artist Pavilion (sponsored by Commerce Bank). Art by the next generation of young artists, all high school students at Boone County schools.
  • Get arty at Wildy’s World: an interactive art installation guided by mural artist, Stacy Self. Grab a paintbrush and leave your mark! Kids and grown-ups are invited to get creative with color and brushes. Look for the big Coil Construction tent and head that way.
  • Access Arts creation space near the Gordon Pavilion and get a quick lesson in weaving or pottery turning.

There are MANY more events going on this weekend! See them all, including details, in the right column calendar.
