Regional artists, artisans and authors will be exhibiting and selling their work at the 67th annual Art in the Park on Sunday, July 24 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. presented by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) at War Veterans Park at the corner of Front and East State Streets in Olean. Held simultaneously with the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce’s event, Taste of Olean, there is something for everyone: visitors can tour the various tent galleries, talk to the artists about their work, purchase pieces while children do a small art project, or play in the bounce houses, and then you can get something to eat at Taste of Olean! To avoid the street re-construction on North Union, the event is being held at War Vets Park this year. The art, food, mature shade trees, dining pavilion and swimming pool make this the perfect place to spend a summer day.
