Arts in the Parks stands at the forefront of summer arts programs nationwide. From its modest beginnings in 1977, Arts in the Parks has grown to include 15 communities in Jay, Blackford and Adams in Indiana, and Mercer and Auglaize counties in Ohio. 

This unique program provides art instruction to hundreds of students annually by literally taking the arts to them. Extraordinary artists from around the country share the arts with students 7 to 14 years of age. Parents are welcome to volunteer and attend any class with their children.

All disciplines are covered including the visual arts, dance, theater, and music.  Community collaboration and support has allowed this program to grow.  The 2009 program includes these new activities: Arts in the Parks Goes to Camp, Arts in the Parks Theatre Camp, Family Nights, and Musical Petting Zoo.  Arts Place welcomes New Bremen as our newest location.

The schedule is now available. Plan to sign up early as classes fill quickly. Click here to view and print the 2009 Arts in the Parks Brochure.
