Artists in the Park
Artists and the public are invited to the Hopper House's third annual Artist in the Park event on June 7, 2008. This is a wonderful community event that encourages creativity and brings artists and art lovers together for a public dialogue, educational experience, and opportunity to experience first-hand the artistic process at work.
