From the director, Megan Backs:
Quincy is a lovely town located on the bluffs of the Mississippi. We have a rich arts history and are home to the first Arts Council in America. Our architecture also represents the best in the Midwest.
We are in our 7th year of putting on a quality juried fine art festival and accept approximately only 50 artists in order for each of our artists to have the opportunity for good sales as we continue to grow our faire. We give out approximately $5,000 in awards, with best of show receiving $1,000. We have many repeat artists but always like to recruit new artists to apply. You can ask any of our past participating artists and they will tell you we treat artists like gold! Our community is happy to host them for the weekend!
Here's the rest:
- Our artists represent diverse styles and techniques including oils and acrylics, vibrant watercolor, unique sculpture, dazzling jewelry, decorative ceramics, vivid photography and so much more.
- The city of Quincy is dedicated to making the faire a positive experience for both artists and guests
- The faire encourages artists to demonstrate and discuss their work
- Great entertainment, wonderful local food and a variety of children's activities
- Application Fee: $10; Booth Fee: $100
--This show has the potential to be one of the best shows of the summer in the Midwest.
--The Faire is well organized, the staff is friendly and they have a good selection of artists.
--A show of this quality so close to home is a dream come true.
