Deadline: March 15
The 2014 Corn Hill Arts Festival is an opportunity for over 400 juried, original artists to show and sell their work to approximately 200,000 visitors. The show is considered Rochester, NY's premier summer event and attracts upscale visitors who value unique, quality arts and crafts. The Festival is free to the public and is set in the historic Corn Hill neighborhood.
The 46th Annual Corn Hill Arts Festival is supported by over 200 neighborhood volunteers, working year-round to make it a "must-attend" event. Artists return year after year citing an affluent, white-collar, visitor in a stable economic region. The support of Festival management and the street managers who are there to help them before, during, and after the show makes it a fun event.
A long-time artist noted, "the neighbors are amazing and we have become friends over the years. A cold drink, a bathroom break in a neighbor's home, and people who come to buy put Corn Hill at the top of my list."
Expect:
- Local hotels offer reduced rates during the Festival
- overnight security
- easy load in/out
