Its name has changed but the mandate remains the same. The New Art Festival, which was formerly known as Art In The Park, will continue to showcase the work of more than 250 up and coming artists in Central Park the first weekend in June.

The city’s largest non-commercial outdoor art festival, which has been running for the last 16 years, is unique in several ways.

“We do not include any mass-produced goods nor do we have any representation from large chains or corporations,” the festival’s site boasts. “We will continue to be a low carbon footprint event and feature organic food providers from the community. All of the artwork, food and music at TNAF are the direct result of the artists and artisans who are featured at our festival.”

And while the focus is on art, the free two-day event offers a lot for those who may not have a deep interest in art. Musicians, dancers and drummers are scheduled to perform all day alongside local painters, sculptors, photographers, jewelers and potters.

June 4 and 5. Central Park, The Glebe.
