Media accepted for Display: Water Media, Acrylic, Oil, Pastel, Colored Pencil, Charcoal, Pen & Ink, Printmaking, Photography/Digital Art, Collage / Mixed Media, and Sculpture. Work must be non-utilitarian, eg., glass, pottery and wood creations must be primarily for viewing rather than functional. The Art in the Park Committee will review new applications to ensure that artwork meets guidelines.
