Amazingly, Art in the Park is only two weeks away and CAL has got a stellar show lined up for you: 110 visual artists from across the United States; an exciting line up of music and magic on the main stage; the first ever Boone County Emerging Artist Pavilion featuring work by local high school and undergraduate students; a panoply of scrumptious festival food; and great kids art projects - including the chance for children to design their own award ribbon and present it to their favorite artist.
