Art in the Park is a Lawrence Art Guild event. Since 1964 this event has featured high-quality work by many area artists and craftspeople and a projected 20,000 visitors. $1,500 in cash awards will be given, live music (keeping in mind noise levels to not detract from the artwork) and food vendors on Massachusetts St.

Art in the Park was voted "Best Event" by the public in Lawrence's Best of Lawrence 2020 Awards.

Art in the Park is the Lawrence Art Guild’s primary fund-raising event.In 2019 The Lawrence Art Guild (a not for profit organization) had two very successful “All Members Shows”, held an online Holiday Art Fair event and gave $9,000 to local public high school art programs.

Accepted artists are also invited to have a couple of pieces of their artwork on display in the Phoenix Gallery sponsored "Art in the Park Preview Show".Opening reception will coordinate with Lawrence’s Final Friday Art Walk.
