Join the city of Beverly Hills and its Community Services Department for the spring Beverly Hills Art Show on May 17 and 18 from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. in Beverly Gardens Park, 9439 Santa Monica Blvd.

Attendees can immerse themselves in a vibrant showcase of exceptional art from 237 artists spanning four blocks within the picturesque Beverly Gardens Park on Santa Monica Boulevard from Rodeo Drive to Rexford Drive. The bi-annual extravaganza, held every May and October, captivates art enthusiasts, connoisseurs and families from all over, drawing thousands of visitors to Beverly Hills.

Artists will showcase their work in ten categories including painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass, drawing, watercolor, traditional printmaking, photography and digital art and jewelry. In addition to captivating art, the Beverly Hills Art Show will have gourmet food trucks offering delectable treats, a creative zone brimming with fun, hands-on artmaking, art demonstrations in chalk art, trace drawing, watercolor and painting, and a beer and wine garden where adults can unwind in the shade while listening to relaxing music in the park.

The show’s newest partner, Los Angeles Printmaking Society, a national nonprofit dedicated to the encouragement of printmaking and the artists who make prints, will feature four demonstrating artists at their booth in front of the Lily Pond in Beverly Gardens Park.
