Berkeley Springs State Park is a work of art in and of itself. Its hot springs natural spa is a historical landmark that joins nature with architecture. So it's really no surprise that the park would display other works of art, as well.
Art in the Park is an outdoor art show that displays the works of local artists and craftsmen. It is located in the historic Berkeley Springs State Park, known for its natural spring, which has regularly been in use since colonial times and was frequently visited by George Washington.
This monthly art fair has become a permanent fixture in the town of Berkeley Springs, and is open come rain or shine. Art in the park features several kinds of art, including jewelry, sculptures, paintings, stained and fused glass, metals, woods, fibers, ceramics, and even art demonstrations.
The paved walk in the historic area is lined with with dozens of tents and booths with a variety of works to purchase. Every art form you can possibly imagine is generally present.
Around the gazebo and other historic monuments you will find displays of local artistry, such as this selection of oil paintings.
Other works, such as these decorative plates by Moon Dance Glass, use ceramic as their palette, combining a menagerie of colors infused with a variety of designs, both simplistic and complex.
You can also find photography as well, such as these framed photographs of beautiful beach landscapes by Lori and Bill Gregory.
Many of the metal crafted art has a unique flair, often with celestial inspired designs. These pieces are works designed by West Virginian artist Michael Nathan.
If you are looking for an art park with pieces you can not only view, but also purchase, these pieces are on display every month, all year round.
Berkeley Springs State Park is located on 2 S Washington St. in Berkeley Springs.
