Art in the Park

5/19/2018 | Graham Cave State Park | Danville, MO

Calling all artists! We would like to invite you to bring your chair, easel and medium of choice and enjoy a day of beautiful landscapes that will entice your imagination and excite your creativity. The park offers enchanting seasonal waterfalls that lead into meandering, rocky stream beds. Playful natural rock walls covered in green hues from mosses and ferns will beg you to explore the nooks and crannies that might be a fairy’s delightful dwelling. Wooded ravines dappled in colorful wildflowers try to hide strange and mysterious mushrooms growing on decaying logs. The highlight is, of course, Graham Cave, and we will be offering an art competition for those beautiful pieces of artwork that are centered on Graham Cave. Click here to read the news release.
