Event postcards and posters are distributed within the community to further target the art-buying patron which makes the show a success.
• There is great food and live entertainment. While at the show be sure to visit one or more of seven food trucks and the Youth Art Competition. This unique and one-of-a-kind program invites all students in grades K-8 or ages 5-13 to enter his/her original art that is publicly displayed within the art show duration of the event. Sunday at 3pm there is a presentation of awards with cash prizes as students begin to learn the rules of doing art shows for a living.
• There is $5 Admission, 13 & under are free, which supports Institute for the Arts & Education and helps to pay the increased costs of producing the event. You can find plenty of free, close and very convenient parking in the last back half of the lot behind Beaumont Medical Center.
