Presented by

Kent Parks & Recreation Department

Kent’s Art in the Park, always held the weekend after Labor Day,

has become a premier community event for Kent. The show is a

family event that attracts residents from Northeast Ohio

communities. Fred Fuller Park is Kent’s oldest park with majestic

trees and scenic walking trails along the Cuyahoga river. Last

year’s event featured 100 artists who expressed their creative

talents through photography, paintings, artful apparel, ceramics

and pottery, drawings, jewelry, glasswork, metal, mixed media, sculpture and wood. There are

numerous demonstrations throughout the two day event. The 19th annual Sylvia Coogan Silent

Auction will be located next to the information booth stocked with donated items from

exhibitors.

In addition to the wonderful visual art experiences, music will be performed on the main stage

throughout both days. Many of the regions favorite performers will

delight attendees with a wide variety such as jazz, country, folk

music as well as children’s interactive music. Back again this year,

with the help of Jeff Ingram from Standing Rock Cultural Arts, is

the “Backwoods Stage”. Listen to indie and classic rock, country,

bluegrass, siltar and tabla, folk, African

drumming, and African storytelling.
