Greenville, SC's Art In The Park Moves to the New Falls Park

The annual Art In The Park festival will be the Grand Opening event for Greenville, SC's new Falls Park built around the Reedy River Falls in the Westend Historic District of Greenville. Now in its 13th year, the festival will move from its former location at the Governor's School to the new downtown park on Sept. 18 & 19, 2004.

Art In The Park has been recognized as one of the finest outdoor exhibitions of fine art and fine crafts in the region. Individual artists from all over the Southeast will exhibit and sell works from their booths on south Main Street at the entrance to the park. All mediums will be represented - painting, photography, pottery, jewelry, fiber, and more. Across the pedestrian suspension bridge, the large Upstate Visual Arts Member Exhibition will exhibit the original works of around 200 artists under a large gallery-style tent. Most works are available for purchase. The Member Exhibition also includes an indoor Juried Exhibition with $6000 in award prizes.

Art organizations will also exhibit their work and demonstrate their various mediums.

A host of special activities are planned for the park's opening to the public, including tours of the gardens, as well as demonstrations and performances by artists and musicians. This year, the ever-popular hands-on children's art area celebrates the Medieval period, introducing children of all ages to the mystery and pageantry of Medieval times.

Art In The Park is free to the public! Festival hours are 11am-7pm on Sept. 18, and noon-5pm on Sept. 19. The event is produced by Upstate Visual Arts and the City of Greenville Parks and Recreation Department. Presented by The Greenville News.
