Get ready for a vibrant celebration of creativity! On April 25, Hampstead Kiwanis Park will come alive with local fine artists, craft vendors, and mouthwatering food trucks during the highly anticipated Art in the Park event.

This marks the second collaboration between the Greater Topsail Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism and the area’s premier gallery, ArtExposure, alongside the Greater Topsail Arts Association, Pender Arts Council, and Pender County Parks and Recreation. Together, they invite the community to immerse themselves in a day dedicated to the arts.

“Last year’s Art in the Park was a tremendous success,” said Tammy Proctor, director of the Greater Topsail Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism. “This year, we’re thrilled to expand our offerings with local crafters and artisans joining our talented fine artists.”

Art in the Park will kick off at 10 a.m. and run until 3 p.m., showcasing a diverse array of artistic talent.

The Daily Grind is proud to be the premier sponsor of this year’s event, providing a large tent that will serve as the centerpiece for our “art gallery.”

“This is an incredible opportunity to shine a spotlight on our local artists,” said Ellen Elder, owner of ArtExposure.

Admission is free! Families can enjoy a fun-filled day with a variety of local food trucks available to satisfy every craving.

“Hampstead Kiwanis Park is the perfect venue for this event, featuring picnic shelters, playgrounds for children, and ample parking for all our visitors,” said Zach White, Pender County Parks and Recreation director.
