We are the New Fine Arts Festival in Town!
The inaugural Art on the Green Fine Arts Festival will come to Sandstone Park in historic downtown Lyons, Colorado, on July 12-13. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Lyons Community Foundation.
This event will highlight Lyon's vibrant arts community, and provide visitors a chance to take part in the town's renaissance following the September 2013 flooding. The infrastructure is rebuilt, the businesses are open, and the public is itching for a reason to visit the town and spread the wealth.
Here are a few of the reasons that Art on the Green needs to be on your summer schedule:
- Only festival on the Front Range that weekend and minutes from Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins
- Aggressive promotion package including direct mail, broadcast, print and social media
- Media sponsor is 9News in Denver. They will do live weather casts from the show on Saturday, including artist interviews, and have other on-air promotions in the weeks preceding the event.

1. 415,000 households
2. 38% of the households with over $75,000
3. For ages 35-65 an average disposable income of $73,000 - In excess of 20,000 vehicles/day driving next to Sandstone Park
- Low booth and application fees ($250/$25)

Darn, I wanted to do Lyons this year, but I'll be working in Great Falls MT all of June. Buyers have been asking when I'd be back up there and I was invited to participate in "Art on the Levee" in Fort Benton on June 26th.
Connie, there is a 2015 event planned.

June 20-21, 2015.
It does sound good, Ernie. I hope it goes well this year and there will be a 2015. That's one of the unrecognized parts of this business, if good artists don't show up for a first year show to get it going, there may never be a "next" year for it.
Unfortunately, I'll have to wait til next year for this one. It is an excellent venue since it's on one of the main roads up to Estes Park with lots of tourist traffic. And only 45 minutes from home in Fort Collins. Penciled in on my 2015 calendar.
