In Quincy, our community prides itself on hospitality, and we believe there is no better example of our warmth than how we treat Q-FEST exhibiting artists. We try to think of everything: water delivered to your booth, free coffee and treats in the morning, booth sitters for meal and bathroom breaks. Our volunteers bend over backwards to make you feel welcome and comfortable.
Quincy
Beyond this kindness, we work tirelessly to promote the Festival in the Quincy region and beyond to bring in a large crowd to purchase your art. We fund raise constantly to grow our awards and increase the amount of Art Bucks ($) in people's hands.

This outdoor arts festival is located in the heart of Quincy in historic downtown Washington Park. We have a quick, efficient check-in process leaving you plenty of time to set-up. Ample nearby parking is available at no cost. Electricity is available at no extra charge on a first come, first-serve basis.

About the Show:
Q-FEST is looking for Fine & Fresh artists including makers of one-of-a-kind items who may not necessarily identify with the fine art label. All interested artists/makers must apply and will be subject to the jury process. Original painting, photography, jewelry, mixed media, sculpture, glass, ceramics, fiber and more will be available at a variety of price points.

What you can expect from us:
