April 1, 2023 & April 2, 2023 Postell Park, Pier Village, St. Simons Island
St. Simon’s Island, GA, March 15, 2023 -- Spring arrives with artistic flair this April as Glynn Visual Arts hosts their 28th annual Art in the Park Fine Art Festival on Saturday, April 1, 2023 and Sunday, April 2, 2023 at the Postell Park in the heart of the Pier Village.
Over 60 juried talented artists and skilled artisans from around the region will display an impressive and eclectic collection of handmade artwork that will delight in quality, diversity and vision. Attendees will enjoy a wide variety of mediums, such as paintings, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, photography, textiles, wood, metal and glass.
Strolling through the park with beautiful live oaks, visitors will be able to mingle with the artists and learn more about how the original art was created.
Art in the Park Festival will have something for everyone, including young visitors. The hands-on “creation station” tent will provide fun for children of all ages.
Bring your friends and family to enjoy the event and join the GVA as they continue to be a source of art education, and a showcase for art and artists both locally and nationally celebrated.
