Local and regional artists showcase their work during annual Art in the Park

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Local and regional artists were invited to showcase and sell their artwork this weekend.

The Yuma Arts Center hosted the annual Art in the Park, which took place at Gateway Park on Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

Dozens of attendees were able to view the artists' work at various booths across the park.

Ana Padilla, Arts & Culture Program Manager for the City of Yuma, shares how Art in the Park is different from seeing artwork at the Yuma Arts Center.

"This gives an opportunity to artists to showcase their work in a different setting, which is by the park," Padilla explained. "[It also give those who attend the event] the opportunity to experience not just the beauty of their pieces are also the beauty of the park and the Colorado River."

Saturday's event will go until 5:00 p.m., but for those who missed out can attend Sunday's event from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
