Plymouth Art in the Park , founded, directed and managed by mother & daughter team, Dianne Quinn & Raychel Rork, are celebrating their 38th year in 2017!
Art In The Park returns to downtown Plymouth July 7, 8 & 9th. Full of color and surprise at every turn, the festival, now in its 38th year, will feature thousands of original pieces of art including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, fiber, fine glass, woodwork, mixed media, photography, and folk art. Over 400 artists from around the United States will line the streets, turning downtown Plymouth into a whimsical color palette. From practical to surreal, witty to the extravagant, there is bound to be something for everyone. What originated as a small group of 30 artists sharing their passion for art in Plymouth’s Kellogg Park in 1980, has since transformed into Michigan’s single largest art festival. The event, which is directed and managed by mother and daughter, Dianne Quinn and Raychel Rork, offers an abundance of activities for the whole family.
