CONWAY — The Mt. Washington Valley Arts Association will bring its annual Art in the Park festival back to Schouler Park this Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. both days. Now in its 54th year, this year’s festival will feature more than 60 fine artists and craftspeople from across New England — making it the largest Art in the Park since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Set against the backdrop of the White Mountains and the historic North Conway train station, Art in the Park celebrates the region’s longstanding connection to the visual arts. Artists have been traveling to the Mt. Washington Valley and White Mountains since the 1800s, drawn to the area’s dramatic landscapes. Today, Art in the Park continues that tradition by creating an opportunity for artists to exhibit and sell their work directly to residents and visitors.
