Hospital in Novi, where several others
painted during the festival already
decorate thewalls.
The chalk mural, which is usually a
reproduction of a well-known art mas-
terpiece executed on the Main Street
pavement will be back, too, as will the
Living Mural. “The theme of those this
year is Fun and Games, things like
Monopoly, Clue, Candy Land, so I sus-
pect the living mural will look like a 3-
D game board but incorporate real
people in it.”
The chalk art and the living mural
are done by Erin Dillenbeck and her
sister, Kristen Anderson, respectively,
and their work is always a big attrac-
tionduringArt InThePark, Rork said.
Also returning will be George Tait
the human statue who is a real favorite
with the crowds as is returning reggae
band, One Love. The interactive chil-
dren's theatre will also return to
KelloggPark.
“We also have 91 new artists this
year,” Rork said, “with some different,
new cutting edge stuff. Things people
will really enjoy.”
Rork said that while the footprint of
the event changes every year, she and
Quinn continue to mark off and map
the placement of each booth personal-
ly, something she will continue to do.
“Every detailmatters,” she said.
“This year we are going to add a few
booths in the smaller lot behind Forest
Street near the Cozy Café and the
small shops in that area,” she said. She
added that the entertainment would be
located throughout the festival while
most of the food vendors will be on
Penniman.
Another shuttle bus has been added
this year and will transport Art In The
Park visitors from the ACH parking lot
at 14425 Sheldon near M-14 to the cen-
ter of the festival at city hall and back
again. The shuttles will run continu-
ously through theweekend.
“It really is the best way to see the
event,”Rork said.
