The Green River Arts Council presents the ninth annual Art on the Green on August 16 and 17 at the historic Expedition Island where, 1869, John Wesley Powell launched his famous three-month trip down the Green and Colorado rivers that included the first known passage through the Grand Canyon.
Thirty-eight 2D and 3D artists from across Wyoming and beyond will compete in a 24-hour live competition for $13,000 in prize money. This event is free and open to the public, who will have the chance to interact with artists throughout the duration of the competition. The public will be able to purchase original pieces, bid during the silent auction, participate in both a Kid’s Corner and an adult demonstration of painting technique, and join the artists for the awards banquet in the evening.
Sponsored by the City of Green River and the Green River Arts Council.

The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
