The 7th annual Walk In The Park, sponsored by the Irvington Guild of Artists, will be held this year on Sunday, August 10. This juried art fair is designed to be a small, intimate show which allows us to accept high quality art and to cater to our individual artists. Walk in the Park is held in the lovely, wooded setting of Ellenberger Park in historic Irvington. This one day show is held in conjunction with the Irvington Garden Club's Farmer's Market. Two cash prizes are given to artists selected by a panel of judges. We enjoy a high return rate of our artists and have been described by our participants as "one of the best run shows."
