We cordially invite you to join us at Art at the Park, an outdoor visual art fair showcasing the remarkable works of artists Rosa Chavez and Leon F Ruiz. Taking place in the picturesque City Park of Appleton, Wisconsin, this event is a highlight of the summer calendar, drawing over 20,000 visitors annually.

Art at the Park promises a vibrant atmosphere filled with high-quality, handmade artwork spanning various media categories, including basketry, ceramics, digital art, drawing, fashion, fiber, glass, jewelry, leather, metalworks, mixed media, painting, paper, photography, printmaking, scent art, sculpture, and wood.

In addition to exploring captivating artwork, visitors will delight in live music performances, delicious food and beverages, a young artist marketplace, and interactive art activities.

We welcome high school students to participate in our Young Artist Program for one year following their graduation. Please note that professional vendors are not eligible for this award, and young artists are not eligible for other awards.

Judging will take place on Saturday, July 27, between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, with awards announced on the main soundstage in the afternoon. Winners will be selected by two guest jurors based on overall work and booth presentation. Winning exhibitors will receive their awards upon submission of a completed W-9 form. Please be sure to prominently display your exhibitor’s booth tag to be considered for awards.
