May’s Festive Fun (continued) “Art in the Park's main focus is to engage the community in the visual arts,” said Mary Hartshorn, Director of Communications at Pensacola Museum of Art. “It is a wonderful opportunity for individuals of all ages to enjoy art from various media, eat good food, and perhaps purchase some of the artist's works.” The festival will include a juried art show featuring close to 100 local and national artists with up to $5,000 in awards. This year the show will feature an Emerging Artists category to allow new artists the chance to participate in the art show. The show is scored by local artists and art enthusiasts, and this year’s jurors will be Michael Boles, Nick Croghan, and Krist Lien. Festival food and drinks will be provided by The Wine Bar and Mimi’s Bistro, and there will be fun activities for children to create their own works of art. Funds raised by the festival will support the Pensacola Museum of Art’s art education programs and art exhibits.
