Art in the Park is set to feature more than 70 artists from all over the world in The Market Common

Celebrating its 50th year, Waccamaw Arts and Crafts Guild’s Art in the Park is the Grand Strand’s premier outdoor art show and sale.                    

With The Market Common as the beautiful backdrop, you’ll be surrounded by natural and man-made beauty during the two-day event. 

Art in the Park is set to feature more than 70 artists from all over the world as far away as South Africa and Canada, with about 50 of those artists from the Grand Strand area, allowing visitors to view and purchase their creations.

Waccamaw Arts & Crafts Guild, established in 1969, is the oldest art guild in the area. Since 1972, Art in the Park has hosted artists from all over the country, who work in a variety of mediums. Artists are required to submit original works or reproductions.

The extraordinary success of the event relates directly to the high quality of the art and fine art crafts that are juried into these shows. While Art in the Park is a preferred destination for artists and art lovers, it has something for everyone.

Held three weekends a year in Myrtle Beach, Art in the Park is an entirely artist-run venue.

The final two weekends of Art in the Park’s 50th year are fast approaching. The next event is on October 8 and 9, and the final weekend will take place on November 12 and 13. Both weekend events will take place at Valor Park in The Market Common, and will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
