JSP is currently seeking artists, musicians and performers who would be interested in presenting technical demonstrations (such as stone carving or metal forging, etc.) or performing during our Fall Arts Festival and Grand Opening Celebration!! The sky is the limit here, we have space, equipment and an amphitheater with electricity to aide in any kind of performance you have in mind. Please contact the artistic director for more information at 502-352-7082.

Ongoing: Artists are invited to submit proposals to exhibit their work at the park or to teach workshops; they are encouraged to experiment and to try things here that they may not have had the opportunity to create anywhere else. We exhibit the work of emerging, mid career, professional and outsider or self taught artists. We anticipate that with future funding we can develop the artist residency programs, enabling us to provide fellowships and residence to a juried group of artists each year.

NEW CALL FOR ART: JSP is currently seeking experienced graffiti artists for a large scale mural project at the park. Please contact park director, Melanie VanHouten for more information. 502-352-7082
