The Arts for the Parks competition was created in 1986 by the National Park Academy of the Arts, in cooperation with the National Park Foundation. The program is designed to celebrate representational artists, enhance public awareness of the National Parks, and to contribute to programs benefiting the National Park System as well as the public. Each year jurors review over 2000 entries of artwork that depict areas governed by the National Park Service. One hundred artworks are selected to travel throughout the Nation including for the first time ever, the City of St. George Art Museum, and catalog of this exhibit is available for purchase in the Museum Store. The interactive Family Discovery Center and the new Adult Study Center will be educational additions to these exhibits, along with other media features. The free exhibit opening for the public is Saturday, July 22 from 10-5. Subsequent Museum hours are Tuesday – Saturday from 10 to 5 for the duration of the exhibit with extended hours on every free 3rd Thursday with Art Conversations at 7pm.
