2026 Art in the Park
OUR 26TH ANNUAL ART IN THE PARK AT UPCC
We held the 26th Annual Art Show at UPCC 3/13-3/15/2026. This annual fine art show is free to the public and this year featured over 150 works of art created by local artists ranging from large- and small-scale original paintings, mixed media, photographs, sculptures, small prints and beautiful notecards. Most of the art was for sale and there truly was something to satisfy everyone's taste and budget.
Congratulations to all the artists in the University Park community who, together, created such a great event last year! Below are the winners for 2026 as judged by local art professionals Maria Lyle, Janet Mishner and Judy Lyons Schneider.
