- Moab Information Center hosts the talk in downtown Moab, linking the event to Southeast Utah's national parks.

Arches National Park and its Community Artist in the Parks programme will hold Art in the Parks: Season Wrap-Up in Moab on 29 October 2026. The free public talk brings artist Chrissy Kinslow to the Moab Information Center to discuss her six-month term and work inspired by Southeast Utah's national parks.
The event gives travellers a town-based way to connect with the landscapes beyond the park road. It is scheduled during the autumn travel period, when the programme's 2026 activities are reaching their conclusion.
Art in the Parks brings its 2026 programme to Moab
The National Park Service lists the season wrap-up as a special event at 6pm on 29 October 2026. The venue is the Moab Information Center at the corner of Main Street and Center Street in downtown Moab, rather than a trail or viewpoint inside the park.
Kinslow will share stories and images from her work, explain her artistic process and answer questions about the programme. The official event listing identifies the programme as both a cultural demonstration and a talk. A separate programme page records the lecture series at the Moab Information Center on the same date.
Sandstone arches shape the artist programme
The park is in Utah, with its postal address in Moab. The National Park Service describes a landscape of natural stone arches, pinnacles, rock fins and balanced rocks, with trails ranging from a few hundred yards to more than 7 miles.
That setting is central to the Community Artist in the Parks format. Kinslow's 2026 term covers original work within the Southeast Utah parks and the sharing of her inspiration with visitors. The programme details list earlier October sessions at Delicate Arch, Sand Dune Arch, Devils Garden and Three Gossips before the Moab lecture.
The relationship between the date and the landscape is therefore direct: the 29 October talk is the closing public conversation for a programme that has taken place around named formations in and around the park.
Autumn transport adds a second visitor context
Visitors staying in Moab can also encounter the Moab-Arches Shuttle pilot during the same late-October period. The service began on 1 September 2026 and is scheduled to continue through 31 October, connecting downtown Moab with the park and serving the visitor centre, Windows and Delicate Arch trailheads.
The service does not reach every part of the park. Travellers heading to Devils Garden, Landscape Arch or Fiery Furnace need another way to continue, while the shuttle provides an alternative for the visitor centre and its listed destinations. Reporting on the shuttle pilot describes its autumn timetable and route structure.
