This year's Art in the Park is an official event in the Countdown to the City of Sierra Vista's 50th Anniversary Celebration. As an added attraction booths featuring the city, the Sierra Vista School District, and local service clubs will line Jean Randall Way. These booths will provide some hands on activities, public service information, and the history of southern Arizona.

The Huachuca Art Association was formed in 1969 by a group of artists who worked on Fort Huachuca. They felt a need to provide local artists a chance to meet and learn from each other. The first Art in the Park was held in Sierra Vista's City Park in 1972 and featured six artists from the association. Art in the Park grew steadily over the first ten years until the event reached the park's capacity of 222 booths. The show has a very good reputation among artists throughout the southwest as a quality show, which attracts thousands of customers from southern Arizona.
