NASHUA – The Nashua Area Artists Association will present the 68th annual Greeley Park Art Show, featuring more than 50 outstanding artists this weekend.

The Greeley Park Art Show has been a summer tradition in Nashua since the early 1950s, and a beloved part of Nashua’s history. Artists will be exhibiting their artwork on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Greeley Park, located at 100 Concord St. in Nashua.

There is no charge for attending the show, and there is plenty of free parking.

Artists will be displaying their artwork in diverse mediums such as oils, acrylic, watercolors, pastels/drawing, mixed media, jewelry, photography and digital art. Works vary in price range from $20 to more than $1,000.

The weekend will feature an adult art competition on Saturday, and the EAST/student art competition on Sunday.

There will be puppet shows on both days, along with “Kindness Rocks,” where attendees can paint their own kindness rocks to keep or share. There also will be demonstration on Sunday by woodworker Ron Marquis.

People will be able to purchase raffle tickets during the show to benefit the educational dund. Items include donated art works from the artists and gift certificates from area merchants. Names will be chosen at random on Sunday afternoon, but people do not have to be there to win. The educational fund helps the NAAA with EAST/kids shows, community outreach, demonstrations and of course the annual scholarships.

The Greeley Park Art Show is welcoming to all ages and well-behaved dogs.
