Park & Art is a monthly exhibition that allows for local artists to showcase their work in various parking garages.
Artists essentially "park" their art in allotted areas in the exhibition for free,on a ‘first come first served’ basis. At the end of each exhibition, a magazine is published containing the best work showcased.
Park&Art at its core is all about showcasing local artists in their cities.
Being funded only by donations allows for unique approaches to Park&Art's budgeting. This traveling exhibition is only held in abandoned parking garages; therefore, venues cost next to nothing to rent for the month.

Local artists are encouraged to bring in work that pertains to any of the five categories provided.
Navigating the garage becomes simple with highway styled wayfinding. Because Park&Art is a constantly traveling exhibition, clear and universal signs were made so the exhibition can accommodate to any garage in the U.S.

Anybody can volunteer to help out with the exhibition. All volunteers receive a Park&Art shirt that helps visitors locate them when help is needed.
Volunteers are expected to be able to assist with directing visitors to a specific piece/artist or making their way around the garage.
Park&Art publishes a monthly magazine for each of the 5 art categories available in the exhibition.
This publication creates a real incentive for artists to compete and create better work within their respective cities.
All proceeds go towards funding future exhibitions as well as compensating the artists recognized in each publication.
