KALISPELL – Arts in the Park returns this weekend to Kalispell Depot Park for its 52nd year.

There will be live art, food and music, and entertainment through Sunday, and with 80 artists in attendance, there will be beautiful artwork and inspiring stories.

“My parents were rock dogs and we used to go out to dig stones. Then they got into jewelry making, so we did jewelry classes and that’s where I met Tom O’Keeffe and we started making jewelry together, ”said Cris O’Keef, O rock expert ‘Keef & Co. Unlimited.

Not all artists started doing their craft. Sally Glutting, a textile artist, was a local school teacher for many years before deciding to focus on her art.

“I make a variety of fiber art and art quilts. You can see I have snow dye and a process called Eco Printing, as well as a little more traditional stuff,” Glutting of One Loose Thread said.

Part of the enjoyment of this event for artists is getting to know the people attending the event.

“It’s fun to see people come out and it’s really fun to talk about art,” Glutting said.

This is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Hockaday Museum of Art, a pillar of the Kalispell community for 53 years. The museum not only has art to see, but also offers programs for children, families and educators.

“Hockaday, I think it’s a great museum and what they do with the community and all the events they have with artists, local artists,” O’Keef said.
