ABOUT ART IN THE PARK
Art in the Park is one of the largest outdoor juried art festivals in the Southwest and is the largest fundraiser for the Boulder City Hospital Foundation. The event is held over two days in beautiful Boulder City, Nevada, not far from Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and the bright lights of Las Vegas. The event is free to the public, and although Boulder City's population is just over 17,000, the event draws over 100,000 visitors.
1st through 3rd place ribbons are awarded in Fine Art, Fine Craft and Traditional Craft categories, as well as an overall "Best in Show" winner. The 2009 Featured Artist is painter, Debbie Marie Arambula from Campbell, California. Visit www.debbiemariegallery.com for more information. Debbie's work will be featured on the t-shirts, posters, programs and all advertising for 2009
