The Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance (HSACA) will host the 10th annual Arts & The Park celebration of the arts with a festival theme of Art & Soul. The 10-day spring arts festival will explore art beyond aesthetic pleasure for an audience, to celebrate how art is used as a tool for the artist. The festival will take place April 28 – May 7, 2023, at various locations around Hot Springs. HSACA is also accepting submissions for the 2023 Art Moves outdoor art exhibition along the Hot Springs Creek Greenway Trail.
The 2023 festival will focus on art as a tool for the artist and will celebrate the varied ways artists use their work for self-expression, healing, as a method of communication, or as a window into their soul. Art & Soul will emphasize the purpose and necessity of art as well as the soulful meaning behind the work.
HSACA is also asking for community input and programming suggestions for the 2023 festival. People who have experience with certified Art Therapy, have programming ideas, or any relevant input as to what should be included in the festival should contact hsaca@hotspringsarts.org.Arts & The Park 2023 will also continue with fundamental programming and events such as Art Moves, Art Springs at Hill Wheatley Plaza, The Henry Glover Songwriting Competition, Studio Tours, and Gallery Walk, and will incorporate the Art & Soul theme where applicable.
