This is the 39^th year for this terrific art festival.  In a beautifully traditional town in northeast Mississippi perched right on the famous Natchez Trace National Park this festival is worth your attention.  It also has a unique Songwriter’s Festival that draws emerging talent to this event.

Art in the Park, Stephens Lake Park, Columbia, Missouri

We have had schedule conflicts for several years so we haven’t worked at the Columbia show but it is a very well attended and quality event. Begun in 1958, Art in the Park is the oldest and largest fine arts festival in mid-Missouri. The festival features more than 100 visual artists from across the United States, displaying a variety of media including painting, drawing, photography, pottery, jewelry, fibers, sculpture, wood, and glass.  We are looking forward to this show.
