The Andovers Artists Guild will be holding its annual Art in the Park on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Park, at the corner of Chestnut and Bartlet streets in Andover. The event is the same day as Andover Day, another event that attracts large crowds downtown.

provide a showcase for serious artists in the New England area; and
provide an opportunity for the public to consider fine art works in an informal atmosphere.
