The Bluff Park Art Show started as a way to raise money to expand the Bluff Park Elementary library and has grown into a nationally recognized and acclaimed art show. The show draws many visitors to Jefferson County each year. Artists from across the country submit their work months in advance hoping to be juried into the show. With an eclectic mix of media, the Bluff Park Art Show provides visitors with a fresh experience each year displayed in the picturesque setting of a heavily tree shaded park. We hope you will join us this year!
