Art in the Park

Twelve artists are selected each year to participate in the People's Choice competition, painting an approximately 8'x4' mural shape over two days. Each year a new theme is selected with the final pieces mounted on Granby's "long wall" on Main Street for one year, then auctioned at the following year's event. For full contest details, stipend, and prizes, please see the Call for Artists.

Art in the Park is located at Polhamus Park, one block off of Main Street Granby at 99 W. Jasper Avenue.

This is a free event hosted by Destination Granby, a nonprofit organization bringing events and programming to our community. Donations are welcome to support our mission. Donate >
