Lets begin with parking…if you don’t want to bother with the hassle of finding your own spot, then do one of these two options:
“PARC it * TARC it * ART it” Get it? PARC at Brown Garage (658 S. Third St.), take the TARC to 2nd and Hill Streets for $6, and ART as long as you please. TARC service begins at 9 a.m. and runs every 10 minutes throughout the day.
Parking & Shuttle Service at JCTC parking lot
The JCTC (Jefferson Community & Technical College) parking lot is available for hundreds of any sized vehicles. Park and take a shuttle, which will run continuously throughout the day, for $10 (includes parking & shuttle service). Drop-off and on is a half block from the Art Show.
