Art in the Park is hosted in Fred Fuller Park, Kent’s oldest and largest park with majestic trees and scenic walking trails along the Cuyahoga river. 2021’s event featured 92 artists who expressed their creative talents through photography, paintings, artful apparel, ceramics and pottery, drawings, jewelry, glasswork, metal, mixed media, sculpture and wood. This includes youth artists, who have a valuable contribution to the world of art. Art In the Park emphasizes the “Young At Art” with a designated area for artists 3rd through 12th grade.
There are numerous demonstrations throughout the two day event where community members can experience art with their own hands. The annual Sylvia Coogan Silent Auction is stocked with items donated by exhibitors to benefit future art programs. In addition to the wonderful visual art experiences, music is performed on the main stage throughout both days.
