This all-ages, free event is a grand celebration of our local arts scene, bringing the community together with a variety of amazing arts organizations.

Enjoy activities and performances, including:

  • Hands-on art activities.
  • Interactive booths and displays featuring local artists and arts organizations.
  • Live community mural painting and other art installations.
  • A chalk art competition — Register at meridiancity.org/chalk-art.
  • Live performances include the Treasure Valley Children’s Theater, Dance Arts Academy, Encore Creative, and Circus Vision.
  • Food Trucks and more!

"The Treasure Valley is full of so many incredible artists and organizations that most people don’t know about,” says Meridian Arts and Culture Coordinator Cassandra Schiffler. “The Community Art Party is a chance for people of all ages to learn more about our vibrant arts community and to connect with local artists and organizations working in visual, literary, theater, dance, and music arts.”
