Arts in the Park

STAY TUNED FOR OUR 2024 PROGRAM LINEUP

Arts in the Park is a series of free public arts events conceived by local and visiting artists held at Downing Park in Newburgh, NY during the Spring and Summer. Arts in the Park aims to expand the park's public offerings, bring unique and playful experiences to park visitors and the broader community, inspire and grow appreciation for this park's historical beauty, revitalization, and stewardship of this shared space by one and all.

Arts in the Park events are FREE for everyone.

The 2023 Arts in the Park season is made possible through support from Downing Park in the City of Newburgh, Chapman Steamer Arts, and private funding. Arts in the Park inaugural year was May-June 2022.

Thank you to the Downing Park Planning Committee and everyone who has contributed to making this program come to life in 2023!
