Art in the Park turns Cape Cod town into colorful art space for the summer

Chatham's beloved Art in the Park returns this season with a theme of 'Whales, Sharks & Oars,' inspiring local artists to showcase their creativity on large, decorated sculptures displayed throughout Kate Gould Park. The hand-painted wooden pieces bring in color and coastal charm to the heart of downtown, drawing in visitors and locals alike. Through August 14, passersby can stroll through the park to see a collection of whimsically designed whales and sharks created by Cape Cod artists. Adding an interactive element to the festivities, the 'Oars in the Stores' scavenger hunt is running throughout the summer. Visitors are invited to explore downtown Chatham, spotting artist-designed oars hidden in storefronts and collecting stamps to complete a fun, family-friendly activity that ends with a prize. Beyond the visual impact, the event celebrates both public art and community spirit. The sculptures and oars will eventually be auctioned, with proceeds supporting local programs and initiatives that help sustain Chatham's creative and economic vitality. destinations Bridge of Flowers is open again in Shelburne Falls — here's how to spend the day Popular NYC cafe known for breakfast sandwiches, crullers makes Mass. debut Mass Hidden Gems: The Mendon Drive-In is like seeing a movie at a state fair Artist cottages bring creativity and color to downtown Orleans 3 New England lakes are among the 26 best US lakes for swimming this summer Read the original article on MassLive.
