Exploring Art in Newport Beach

Art in the Park brings together artists from a variety of different artistic backgrounds.

A full list of participating artists can be viewed by visiting the event website.

A number of art activities for children will also take place throughout the day, with the activities being provided by the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity. Founded in 1999 by four-time Academy Award recipient and legendary animation creator and director Chuck Jones, the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity in Orange County dedicated to reinvigorating the creative spirit through classes, lectures, exhibitions, film festivals and building an online community. Activities provided by the Chuck Jones Center will be appropriate for children of all ages, ranging from toddlers to those who are in their 90s. These projects will include those that help to retain and make better use of our memory, those designed to introduce artists to cartooning and simple projects meant for the very young.
