Summer Art Fairs

Plymouth's Art in the Park has steadily grown through the years. While Saturday was something of a wash out with periodic rain storms, Sunday proved perfect. A few of the vendors had to batten down their art work against the wind, but the breeze made the event a lot more comfortable.

Art in the Park is traditionally more about craft products than art work, although there are always a few tents among the 400 or so that display traditional paintings. This year's fair introduced performance art by way of a living statue. There was also something for the younger crowd: aerial bike and skateboard stunts on a half pipe.
