I am so grateful for the outstanding artists, dedicated volunteers, sponsors, and attendees (and the weather!) for helping put together the 66th Art on the Rocks.

Art on the Rocks is next weekend!
Here's some of our tips & tricks for getting the most out of you Art on the Rocks experience. What makes your visit the best?

-Parking can be a hassle; bike, walk, or take the bus if you can. (If you purchase large art, talk to the artist about coming back with your car later to pick it up)

-Dress in layers. The breeze off the lake can be chilly and the sun can be hot, having options for any weather makes for a more comfortable day.

-Bring a water bottle (or buy one at the Art on the Rocks HQ). Water fill stations will be available throughout the fair.

-Walk around the loop at least twice. It's easy to miss an amazing artist trying to see everything in once.
