The 2015 Corn Hill Arts Festival is an excellent opportunity for over 350+ juried, original artists to show and sell their work to approximately 150,000+ 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 47th 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 vibrant 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 great 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 rated during the Festival
  • Overnight security; Easy load in/out
  • $8,000 in prize money in 8 categories
  • Extensive advertising-promoted on TV, Radio, Print, Online, SM, PR
  • Actively maintained and heavily trafficked website (www.cornhillartsfestival.com) lists each artist's name, medium and location

In 2014, there was over $95,000 of advertising to the public. 45,000 printed Festival Guides are distributed the week prior to and during the Festival with a circulation reach of 177,000 and include each artist's name, medium and location along with a map.  
Social media is utilized and Facebook "Likes" are currently over 4,700 fans.  The Corn Hill Arts Festival uses the Twitter handle @CornHillArtFest and the hash-tag#CornHillArtsFest.

 

Visitors make their yearly trek to historic Corn Hill because of the atmosphere.  Music from 4 stages, friendly people who enjoy a variety of international foods, and two beer and wine gardens make the experience truly pleasurable.  People come early to shop, meet with friends, and discover new art and treasures.
