Blowing Rock Art in the Park 2027

Art in the Park started in 1962 by a handful of area artists. 64 years after its start, Art in the Park is host to approximately 70 artists at each show.
Art in the Park's high standards and professional jury attract artisans from all over the Southeast to exhibit in a series of six shows, once a month, May through October. The quality of work exhibited draws more than 35,000 people to the mountains each season.
Art in the Park is planned and administered by the Blowing Rock Chamber of Commerce. The town and area businesses are enthusiastic and participate with Art in the Park, and the public eagerly anticipates each season.
