Many fun events are in store for the 2024 Arts Festival.
The Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance (HSACA) will host the 11th annual Arts & The Park festival from Friday, April 26, through Sunday, May 5, at various locations around Hot Springs, with the theme of Celebrate Imagination. The 10-day spring arts festival will focus on cleverness, originality, ingenuity, and the limitlessness of the mind. HSACA also invites the community to send them imaginative programming suggestions that fit the festival theme.
The Celebrate Imagination festival honors outside-the-box thinking and allowing the imagination to run free. The festival will offer opportunities for people of all ages to explore new artistic techniques through workshops, demonstrations, and more.
Arts & The Park 2024 will continue to offer fundamental programming and events such as Art Moves, Art Springs, The Glover Awards for Songwriting, Artist Studio Tours, Virtual Cooking, Gallery Walk, and weekday events at the Garland County Library.
Art Springs, the outdoor arts festival at Hill Wheatley Plaza will be held Saturday, April 27, and Sunday, April 28. Applications for artist booth space at Art Springs are being accepted at HotSpringsArts.org. In mid-February submissions to the Glover Awards for excellence in songwriting will open and local artists can sign up to be listed on the Studio Tours. Check www.hotspringsarts.org for details.
To broaden the festival, HSACA is also inviting community members to contact liz@HotSpringsArts.org if they have unique artistic skills or talents they would like to share by hosting a workshop or demonstration, or if they have any suggestions for artistic experiences that do not currently exist during the festival.
