Art in the Park
Walk the trails and watch as local artists complete beautiful works of art “en plein air” (in plain air) at Ernie Miller Park. Stop by the nature center to vote on your favorite one. Admission is free for spectators. Artists must pre-register by March 30 and will receive an information packet prior to the event. The entire work of art must be completed in the park during this event. In case of inclement weather, artwork may be created indoors using window views. Winners will have their artwork displayed at the nature center, and a postcard created of their masterpiece will be distributed at the nature center. Winners will be announced at noon. For more information, call Outdoor Education Specialist Andrea Joslin (913) 826-2806. To register as an artist, go to www.jcprd.com and follow the “Register for Activities” link and do a barcode search for 41293 (ages 15 & older) or 41294 (ages 14 & under).
