Good to know:
  • There are no bands, there is no beer!
  • The Marion Arts Festival is about the art.
  • Our show is one-day, intimate and purposeful.
  • We're volunteer-driven, kind of hokey and maybe more than a little mom-and-pop ... in good ways, mostly. Always, we do the show for you. You're our whole point.
  • Check out this 2018 review on Art Fair Insiders:

Extensive event marketing throughout Eastern Iowa, including static/digital billboards; newspapers and arts tabloids; broadcast and cable television; radio; web advertising; and a full-color, 12-page festival program distributed to 41,000 area households (via the Cedar Rapids Gazette the Sunday prior to the event).
New this year:
Folded into our day will be the unveiling of 10 additional pieces of public art in uptown alleys adjacent to the festival, a project funded by ArtPlace America.
