Over Labor Day weekend, over 11,000 art lovers make their way to beautiful Long's Park to shop for fine art and high-quality crafts. Set in an historic tree-lined park where booths follow walkways surrounding a tranquil freshwater lake, this top-rated show draws sophisticated, high-income buyers from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Central Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, DC, New York, and beyond, thanks to the quality of its exhibitors and extensive marketing throughout the region.
For our exhibitors, we offer:
- An extensive social media campaign (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) along with national and regional advertising to attract educated and knowledgeable buyers to the show
- In 2019 we introduced two new media categories: Functional Art - 3-D creations which serve a purpose; and Upcycled/Creative Reuse - Art which uses found objects as the primary medium.
- A listing of all artists and links to all artists' websites (or Facebook pages) on our webpage: www.longspark.org/art-festival
- All participating artists are highlighted in the free Festival Directory given to guests at each gate
- Opportunity to purchase additional low-cost, four-color advertisement in the official Festival Directory
- Easy set-up and load out. Vehicle access for loading and unloading at all booths during set-up and tear down
- Ample, free on-site parking
and overnight camping during the Festival - 24-hour on-site security in place from setup on Thursday until 9:00 PM Sunday after the show
- Free cold beverages and snacks available throughout the weekend

- Volunteer "Ambassadors" to attend to the needs of our exhibitors
- Volunteer booth sitters available each day

Marketing plan:
- Both local (Central PA) and regional advertising and marketing to major metropolitan areas (Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., & Wilmington) targeting culturally sophisticated households who are likely buyers of art
- Targeted social media marketing on several platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
