The Indianola Public Arts Commission hosted the first annual Indianola Art Festival Saturday at Buxton Park, inviting local artists to display their original works. Bob Kling with the Indianola Public Arts Commission tells KNIA News the location, planning, and attendance were all what they could have ever hoped for in the first year of the festival.

“This has been one of the most wonderful days in this city, because we are able to show off the most beautiful park anywhere, Buxton Park. I’ve talked to a lot of people, and the locals who are here told me that we should always have this here. The vendors, the artists here love it because it’s beautiful, it’s shady and it’s just the best, rather than being on a street sidewalk somewhere in the hot sun. It’s just such a beautiful atmosphere here.”
