Richland art in the park 2022

The 2022 Art in the Park event is right around the corner when you can wander for two days among the hundreds of artisan and vendor booths in the shade of Howard Amon Park in Richland.

This is the 71st year for one of the largest annual summer art shows in the Northwest.

The show is Friday, July 29, from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. and Saturday, July 30, from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m.

The free event will feature over 250 vendors, food trucks, live music and more.

This year’s vendors will offer a variety of artwork, from pottery, jewelry, glass- and metalwork to fiber arts, photography and 3-D pieces, said event Director Brandie Saint-Claire.

“Anything and everything that you as an individual considered to be art is going to be present at the event,” she said. “So it not only has the high art aspect and element to it, it also has that organic feeling of a maker space.”
