Just in case you wanted another reason to visit Okoboji this summer, here’s a good one: The Pearson Lakes Art Center hosts its annual Art in the Park festival, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Aug. 3. The juried show features more than 50 artists from across the Midwest and beyond, selling sculpture, pottery, glass, drawings, paintings, photos and more. There will also be plenty of hands-on activities for kids (and kids at heart).
While you’re there, take a lap through the galleries inside. The current exhibitions include a display of Kelly Devitt’s beautifully lumpy ceramics, inspired by the human body, plus plenty of local color in an exhibition called “Okoboji’s Photographic Palette.“
