Community Art Party

The Meridian Parks and Recreation Department’s mission is to enhance the community’s quality of life by providing innovatively designed parks, connected pathways, and diverse recreational opportunities for all citizens.  The Art Party celebrates the vibrant arts community in the valley and connects the public with various arts organizations.

We share the variety of opportunities for the community to get involved in the arts. The event aims to nurture creativity of all kinds including visual, literary, theater, dance, and music arts. The event features hands-on activities, live performances, engaging art stations, a chalk art competition and informational booths by local art organizations and artists.
