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.
The 2024 Community Art Party will feature live performances, a chalk art competition, hands-on interactive arts activities tailored to all ages, interactive booths, art installations, and more. The event is arts education and family focused and coincides with both National Arts in Education Week and Meridian Art Week. Our goal for this event is to foster connections between the public and the diverse arts organizations within the valley, particularly those offering educational programs and avenues for public involvement in the arts.
