City crews and Community Events staff have been busy at Cottonwood Park this week, preparing for the City’s semiannual Cottonwood Art Festival, which begins tomorrow morning, Oct. 1 and continues through Sunday, Oct. 2. Approximately 200 artists were selected from across the nation (out of about 1,400 submissions) to exhibit at the event, the first fall Cottonwood Art Festival to be held since 2019. 
 
In addition to the art, there will be two stages featuring live music, an interactive children’s area and a variety of food and beverage vendors. New this fall is a 3D chalk creation by artist Jan Riggins that will transform the center of the festival.
