Arts in the Park will include nearly 100 artists, live entertainment, and hands-on activities for children. Featured will be a mix of Bay area artists, first-time exhibitors to seasoned veterans, with a range of mediums including watercolors, acrylics, oils, jewelry, sculpture, fiber, photography, printmaking, mixed media, metal, wood, ceramics and more.
