25th Annual Art in the Park
On July 17th, 2010, artists from all over the United States will descend upon Downtown Petoskey to show off their wares. For its Silver Anniversary, approximately 130 booths will grace Pennsylvania Park, with items ranging from pottery to jewelry, from paintings to photographs, and much more.
Wander through the hostas to find everything from that perfect, one-of-a-kind gift for someone special to that jaw-dropping focal piece for the office. Items range in size from small, intricate pieces of jewelry, to functional wearable art, to big enough to take advantage of on-site UPS shipping. You'll find something for everyone, even if they're a budding art-lover or a seasoned collector of the fine things in life.
The show is rain or shine, so come prepared to shop. We'll even help you find a lunch to spoil the artist in you - many of the downtown restaurants have delicious goodies to tempt your tastebuds.
