Midtown Houston’s Art in the Park

Houston was recently dubbed America’s New Art City, and Art in the Park will celebrate the breadth and depth of talent in the city.

The two-day family event will take place under the oak trees at Baldwin Park (1701 Elgin St.) on Friday, April 21 (5 – 10 PM) and Saturday, April 22 (10 AM – 4 PM). A pet-friendly affair, Art in the Park features talented artists and artisans, musicians and performers, and food trucks from across the city. The weekend activities include free ArtJam classes like wreath making, Houston skyline painting, and Mother’s Day piñata-making; with pre-registration required.

Art in the Park will feature 36 talented Houston artists.
