<div>Art in the Park in the Dark is a free, annual event for all-ages, featuring an exciting blend of interactive art, laser light shows, illuminated bike parades, and live performances. Created to foster creativity and community engagement, the event transforms the park into a glowing wonderland where everyone can explore art installations, participate in hands-on activities, and enjoy a vibrant atmosphere under the stars.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“This event took off last year when I applied for the Art Is Everywhere Neighborhood Grant from the Palm Springs Arts Commission to pay artists to paint picnic tables at my local park,” said event producer and comedian Shann Carr. “Once I received the grant, I wanted to make a special reveal for the artists by creating a nighttime gallery in the park using my solar gadgets. Almost immediately, artists and neighbors started adding their own contributions, bringing light and glow to the mix. It was an instant hit. Now, we’re moving the event to <strong>New Year’s Eve</strong>, so it will be the perfect mix of immersive art, interactive activities, and community celebration in a magical, light-filled outdoor setting.”
</div>
