The Art in the Park exhibit was created to present large-scale sculptures to the general public in designed cultural landscapes while enriching the lives of those that live, work, study, play, and visit spaces and places in Central Massachusetts. The exhibit provides public art sculptors with opportunities to have their work reviewed by arts professionals and exhibited. It adds to the arts literacy of visitors and the community and gives a public arts dimension to the vision of Worcester as a place where culture shines! The exhibition debuted in 2008.

​

Art in the Park, Worcester collaborates with the Worcester Public Schools’ arts education liaison Timmary Leary, art teachers, and students to create sculptures to exhibit in Elm Park. Artists provided by AIP mentor the teachers and work with students within the Worcester Public School. This opportunity provides the students with the experience of producing sculptures within exhibition guidelines and installation within a professional setting. Students have the opportunity to use the experience on college applications as well as continue to explore a career in the arts.
