The Staunton Augusta Art Center celebrates the return of the 56th Annual Art in the
Park festival in historic Gypsy Hill Park over Labor Day weekend. Appreciated as one of Virginia’s
longest-running arts festivals, the family-friendly Art in the Park will feature the fine art and fine crafts of
eighty local and regional artists.

Visitors are encouraged to admire and purchase artwork, chat with artists, and enjoy food
provided by a variety of local vendors and food trucks.

Aspiring young artists are welcome to participate in the children’s art activity area. Your weekend’s chill-in-the-park soundtrack will be curated by local DJ Steve the Painter. Staunton’s only LOVEworks (Virginia is for ART Lovers!) will be featured prominently, inspiring selfies, family photos, and posts on social media, enduring memories of a fun-filled event!
As a non-profit arts organization, the Staunton Augusta Art Center will be selling raffle tickets for your
dream vacation as a major fundraiser! $25 raffle ticket purchase puts you in the running for exciting
global travel excursions. Find out destination specifics at the Festival Information Tent during the event.
