Art in the Park Returns in May with Creative, Messy Family Fun

This spring the Town will host Art in the Park, an annual day of hands-on art projects for the whole family. This event features fun — and messy — ways for kids to discover art, and will take place on Saturday, May 20 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on the Town Green.

With an assortment of art projects and supplies on hand, families can explore different methods of creativity together while enjoying a spring day outside. Town Staff and volunteers will be on hand to guide and assist with all art projects, and there will also be art projects available to take home. Participating in the arts can have a wonderful impact on developmental growth for children and allow people of all ages a way to destress and expand their skillsets.

If you are interested in fostering art in our community, volunteer opportunities are available. If you would like to assist with leading the children’s art project stations, please sign up online at www.danville.ca.gov/volunteer by Friday, May 5.

Art in the Park is open to kids ages 5 through 10, and registration is $6. Pre-registration at www.danville.ca.gov/recguide is encouraged, but will also be available the day of the event on site. The event will be at the Town Green, located in front of the Danville Community Center at 420 Front Street in Danville. For more information or to sign up for volunteering at the event, contact Visual Arts Coordinator Marija Nelson Bleier at 925-314-3460 or mnelsonbleier@danville.ca.gov.
