From BOWLING GREEN ARTS COUNCIL
The Bowling Green Arts Council and Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Department will host Art in the Park on the grounds of Simpson Garden Park, 1291 Conneaut Avenue, on Friday, June 7 from 5-7 p.m. Artists of all ages are invited to bring their easels and art supplies to the park to paint in the gardens for this event.
Artists can register to participate by sending an email to blair@surrealogic.com. No sales can be made on Park premises; however, artists may bring a sample finished work and are encouraged to bring business cards to distribute.
To encourage artist participation, The Art Supply Depō in Bowling Green will award a $50 gift certificate for the “People’s Choice” artist and a $25 gift certificate for the Runner-up artist, voted by those in attendance. In the event of rain, plein air painting will be cancelled. However, artists are invited to create passive in-door displays of their paintings with their own easels. A $50 and $25 gift certificate will be awarded for the People’s Choice and Runner-up display, voted by those in attendance.
In addition to the artists at work, Art in the Park will feature hands-on arts activities for children. There will also be local musicians, music by students of the BGSU College of Musical Arts and performances by the Black Swamp Players. Some light refreshments will be provided.
