While you’re at it, check out these two vendors who aren’t exactly artists or crafters, but are very important to Art in the Park.

Opening Day at Buckley Park - May 10th, 2008. It's Mothers Day Weekend!
Yes, it is Mothers Day Weekend already! What a wonderful time to visit the ACMD at Buckley Park for some truly special Mothers Day gifts. Artists have created gift items just for this occasion. Many will be offering Mothers Days Specials, so you can save money while buying a one-of-a-kind item for that special mom in your life.
Perhaps best of all, all your purchases at the ACMD during 2008 benefit a local charity. The month of May is Habitat for Humanity.
You need more art in your life, right? This is a great opportunity to get something nice for mom, help Habitat for Humanity, and of course enrich your life with a locally created work of art.

Wanted: Food Vendor & Musicians
We are lining up non-art vendors, to make the “Art in the Park” experience more fun for visitors to the market. We have coffee and beverages taken care of.
Now, we want a food vendor and more musicians.
Some musicians are signed up already, but we have plenty of room for more. So, if you are one, or know a musician or band that wants to play in front of a live audience in an outdoor setting, please have them contact us.
Food vendors would do well just by being there with some breakfast food for us vendors! Most of us arrive with enough time to get set up by 9:00 am, but don’t eat before we leave home. Foot traffic for the market last year was from 400 to 500 people on a good day. We expect an increase in visitors given the much improved location, and better marketing this year.

Pure Soul Coffee at
Art in the Park
We are happy to announce that Pure Soul will be our coffee company at the ACMD at Buckley Park this year. They will be selling coffees, lattes, teas, including chai teas and iced teas, bottled water, and any other beverage that strikes their fancy.
We are asking that all vendors & art lovers alike support Pure Soul and if you drink coffee or tea early in the morning, please get it from them. If you’re near Town Plaza and are thirsty, drop in at their store.

The ACMD has a new home!
We enjoyed our time at Albertsons, but greener pastures await.

- Electricity is available
- Ample parking
- We will have a stage and live music
- The park is ours all day, so our new hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Artists, prepare yourselves for an excellent year. That’s all I can say.
