Art in the Park is an annual Arts and Crafts Sale held by the Newport Beach Arts Foundation. Held on the Civic Green at the Newport Beach Civic Center, over 100 artists and artisans participate in Art in the Park each year and the event is well attended by the public. All work sold at Art in the Park is original. The artists will be at the event, so attendees will have the opportunity to talk with the artists and artisans and purchase something unique, perhaps for a birthday or holiday gift. The purpose of Art in the Park is to help the Foundation raise funds to promote the arts in Newport Beach and support the cultural activities of the city's Arts Commission. There are art activities for children provided by the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity. There is plenty of free parking. Food is available at 24 Carrots Resaturant located inside the public library. However, being located at the entrance to Fashion Island, there is plenty of food available in the shopping center. Also, visitors can take time to stroll through the Civic Center Sculpture Park and tour the sculptures.
