What is a "juried" show you might ask? Regular craft show allow anyone with the entry fee into their shows, the quality or subject matter of the art nor whether it's actually hand-made is taken into consideration. A Juried arts and crafts show means that along with having to have your entry fee, your art work is critiqued by a panel of other artists to make sure that the quality and subject matter are both acceptable and that the art is indeed handmade, not something you can buy in hong kong and sell for profit.
The art show is sponsored by the Parker Artists Guild (PAG) of Parker. PAG membership includes artists from Parker, Castle Rock, Aurora, Highlands Ranch, Douglas and Elbert County and the south metro area.
Membership is open to all media. PAG was formed in 2001 and has grown to about 200 members this year. Our mission is to promote the visual arts and raise awareness of local artists in the community. PAG sponsors a variety of art education workshops, exhibits, culture events and Kid’s Kulture. For more information about PAG and Art in the Park visit www.ParkerArtistsGuild.com.

Art in the Park 2010 looks like a lot of fun for Parker, Colorado residents and folks living nearby.
I do enjoy a good art fair – loved the big one in Ann Arbor – and Art in the Park in Parker looks like it has a lot of what i enjoy. Always fun to browse for sculpture and paintings, try on jewelry, get your face painted. Plus, O'Brian Park must be lovely this time of year.
