The Art in the Park Guide invites communities, educators, and families to transform green spaces into outdoor creative studios that connect youth with nature through the arts. Developed by Get to Know, this practical and inspiring guide offers dozens of activities across five creative categories — Art, Writing, Photography, Video, and Music — all designed to spark curiosity and appreciation for local biodiversity. From blind contour drawing and nature poetry to sound journaling and digital storytelling, each activity encourages hands-on learning, observation, and creativity while promoting environmental stewardship.
The guide’s step-by-step approach makes it easy to organize outdoor art days in parks, schoolyards, or community gardens. By blending artistic expression with ecological awareness, The Art in the Park Guide fosters deeper connections between young people and their natural surroundings, helping them discover, document, and celebrate the beauty of the world around them. It’s a powerful tool for educators and park leaders who believe that creativity can be a pathway to conservation.
