The Green River Arts Council and the City of Green River Parks and Recreation Department are excited to host the 20th annual Art on the Green 24 hour live art competition.
Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional artist, high school student or adult, or compete in 2D or 3D categories: you have 24 hours to create artwork from beginning to end.
