On April 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Isle of Palms Recreation Department will host Art & Cars in the Park, featuring local artists, hot rod and muscle cars and a range of food vendors posted up beneath the oak trees.
“The artists participating in the art show were blindly selected by a committee composed of residents and the rec’s art instructor. The jury chose the artists based on the artwork they submitted. The selected artists will also set up near the oaks,” said Tammy Cox, assistant recreation director.
Cox shared that in addition to artists displaying their work, there will be seven food trucks and three food vendors. At least 34 unique interest vendors will showcase everything from sweetgrass baskets to cookies.
For those who enjoy the appeal and nostalgia of classic cars, the car show is the perfect complement to the event. The car show will include sev-eral antique, special-interest collect-ibles and muscle automobiles.
“We have a British car, some corvettes and a 1965 replica of a Back-draft Cobra coming. We are very excited about the car selection, which includes a 1935 Plymouth that will steal the hearts of car enthusiasts. So, if you’re a car enthusiast this is the perfect event for you,” added Cox.
The IOP Recreation Center is expecting a big turnout at Art & Cars in the Park, as there is something for everyone to enjoy. Come out and support local artists and area small businesses.
