If you are looking for a pleasant way to spend an idyllic summer afternoon, a trip to Elgin Park in Uxbridge just might fit the bill. Wander about under the canopy of trees as you enjoy the shaded display of a wide range of professional and non professional artists who live and create their works in Uxbridge. In addition many Artist from across Ontario will also be present at Art In The Park.
As a Juried Show the artists and artisans must submit photos or slides of each media they intend to exhibit and sell in order to qualify as an exhibitor. The selection committee or judges will then determine who will be able to present their works in the park based on these submissions.
As you stroll through the park, take time to watch some of the artist at work, talk to the artists or sit and watch the children in the play/art area as you partake of the scrumptious food from the various food vendors.

What a lovely park. I love going to art shows in the park. We have one coming up soon in NH and I am looking forward to it.
Joan - They are a great opportunity for a person interested in the arts or who is simply looking for a Stay-Cation opportunity.
Kathy - What a fun event - Those toad stools are fascinating. What are they made of?
Hey Kathy, I love Art in the Park..so many great reasons for it. One your outside, two you get to chat with all those who come your way, 3 your creating Art while doing so and 4 you get to sell it :) I will be doing my own art in the park event Sept 24th on Long Island NY, very excited :)
Sally - if memory serves me well Birch and concrete
Laura - Having worked with a local artist some years ago at many out door events I couldn't agree more ..... much better than an indoor show weather permitting.
Sounds like a wonderful event! We vacationed in Quebec City in February and were just bowled over by how friendly everyone was. Canada is such a beautiful country.
Susan - Welcome to Canadian Hospitality. This and other fall arts events provide a great way to get to know about a community and the people living there.
