First Annual Art in the Park Event Saturday, June 15th at Herman Dierks Park in DQ

CALLING ALL LOVERS OF ART, ARTISTS, CRAFTERS, AND MASTERS OF CREATIVITY!

Sevier County Farmers Market is joining with the Cossatot Arts and Crafts Association (CACA) this Saturday, June 15, to host our First Annual Art in the Park event near the Pavilion in Herman Dierks Park from 10-3 pm. It is FREE to both the public and the artists!

We invite everyone to come out and support the arts! Come see artists in action, view their creations, and maybe take a few pieces home with you.

The kids will enjoy seeing creations from our younger artists, Chalk the Walk, and perhaps become a walking work of art with some face painting at the CACA booth.

We invite our local and regional artists and crafters to show off your creativity in a relaxing outdoor venue. Consider your space your personal mini show! Bring your business cards, display your work, work your craft, sell your art, share your passion!

People enjoy seeing the creative process. Watching artists in action is a great way to share our love for the arts and bring a bit of culture to our community!

Artists, bring a table and chair, canopy or big umbrella, and whatever you need to get creative: Your palette, canvases, photos, tools, brushes, pencils, quilts, wood, clay, paper, embroidery...

If your craft is a more involved process such as metal forging or ceramics, bring some representational pieces to show and maybe some to sell. Perhaps a portfolio of your work.

If you would like to become more involved with your artistic community and other artists, consider joining CACA. Visit their booth at our event and their page on Facebook to learn more about this local association and how they develop artistic awareness through direct interaction with local, regional, and state artists and their craft.

You’ll also want to take a stroll through our Fresh Farmers Market under the Pavilion for some amazing snacks, baked goods, home canned preserves you will never find in a grocery store, an assortment of beautiful handmade crafts by our vendors, locally raised eggs and grass fed meat, and, of course, plenty of fresh picked , locally grown vegetables to grace your dinner table.

The Market will forego normal hours this Saturday. We will open at 7 am and vendors will remain through 3 pm or until sold out.
