Dear Friends,

Thank you for supporting the Trout Museum of Art's Art at the Park festival in 2021. We can confidently say that this was one of the best years yet - and that's saying a lot in our 61 years!

The following Marketing, Promotion, and Revenue Report will give you an inside look into our 61st year, celebrated July 24 & 25, 2021. Through the support of Community First Credit Union, our amazing sponsors, volunteers, talented artists, staff, and other community nonprofits, we made it a fabulous year.

Thank you for making 2021 a success! We appreciate your support.

With gratitude,
Trout Museum of Art Staff

Rave Reviews

Art at the Park is a gem, the location is beautiful, the layout is smart and the atmosphere great! Wonderful event!

Art at the Park ticks three of the most important art fair boxes: helpful volunteers, a great crowd, and a beautiful setting.

Beautiful location with exceptional art to see and buy. Wonderful musical groups and a variety of food venders to enjoy.

Absolutely one of my favorite shows and this year was fabulous. Love the two day event - I think it spread the crowd out, making it easier for people to get to the displays. Thanks for everything you do to make this event a success!

Such a variety of artists, styles, and mediums- really diverse. Loved seeing the Young Artist Marketplace too.
