<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Summertime on Park Point conjures a sense of rolling waves and seagulls soaring over rare beach grass and one hundred year old pines. And for one weekend each year, it brings artists and art lovers together in a festive setting that welcomes one and all. The region’s longest standing outdoor visual arts showcase returns to Minnesota’s favorite sandbar annually for 52 years. Park Point is an affluent community in the heart of the city of Duluth. "The Point" as it is affectionately called, is a unique environment and a destination in a destination town.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><a href="https://www.artfairinsiders.com/profiles/blogs" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}12382371669,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="750" height="415" alt="12382371669?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></span><span style="font-size:14pt;">The Park Point Art Fair was awarded 10,000 dollars from the city of Duluth to forward its mission. Much of that money will be spent on marketing efforts making this an important year to participate and set the stage for more future support.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em>"I love the community spirit! I appreciate how many Park Point residents volunteer to help. And there is a special connection between the artists that is stronger than other shows. Most of all the community shows up to support the artists, even with rain in the forecast. I noticed that many visitors came with empty tote bags and were planning to shop for art."</em></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">We invite you to be a part of the weekend festival as we celebrate the finest in American hand-made craftsmanship.

In addition to traditional artists and crafters, we welcome applications from “indie” crafters, and those with a unique or unconventional sense of aesthetics.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">NEW REFERRAL PROGRAM - Returning artists are invited to participate in a referral program and receive $50 off their booth fee. Please submit the name(s) of any new artists you have encouraged to apply. A new artist is categorized as someone who has not exhibited at Cedarhurst within the past five (5) years. Once the named artist has registered and paid their booth fee, a $50 refund will be issued to the returning artist. If multiple returning artists have named the same new artist, the $50 bonus will be split evenly amongst those artists. Artists can claim multiple referral bonuses.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Palmer Park is a city park in great neighborhoods along the city's major road to the suburbs. Between the cabin and the pond, we have a relaxed art fair winding through the grass and under trees. This is a boutique art fair, limited to 100 artists. <br /> <a href="https://www.artfairinsiders.com/profiles/blogs" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}12375310678,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="12375310678?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="600" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Palmer Park is surrounded by some of Detroit's wealthiest neighborhoods. Palmer Woods is the home to 5,000 square foot homes for doctors, lawyers, business owners and others with the means and desire to purchase art. To the east is the Golf Course district, followed by the University District and Sherwood Forest with its elegance and quality residences. South is the Apartment District, home to huge condos and apartments with marble floors that are returning to their 1920s splendor.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The Kenan Center is an indoor sports arena with space for up to 100 vendors. Located in the center of Lockport, NY, visitors come from Niagara County, Buffalo, and Southern Ontario (and beyond). This is a diverse area with a high population of affluence due to the location of the Erie Canal. Kenan's campus is 25-acres with a theatre, art gallery, gardens and green space.<br /><a href="https://www.artfairinsiders.com/profiles/blogs" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}12373020277,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="600" alt="12373020277?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></span><span style="font-size:14pt;">100 American Craftsmen is one of the region's oldest and most revered fine arts festivals. New Executive Director Bill Patti is committed to a revitalization of this historic event with an influx of Kenan resources and campus-wide planning.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">• We visited, engaged, and recruited at over a dozen artisan festivals this season.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">• We have expanded our marketing budget significantly. Marketing improvements will include an added push to the Buffalo metro area, Southern Ontario, artisan pushes (we will provide regular marketing materials for artisans to share with their mailing lists), and direct mailers through various publications.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">• All vendors will be juried craftsmen. We may have a community partner section, but those partners will not sell goods.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">• Increased availability of quality food choices.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">• New and improved digital footprint – including an upgraded website</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">• Purchase/Incoming build of AmericanCraftsmenFestival.com will redirect to the informational page.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">• Kenan will include high-art events across campus throughout the weekend, including a gallery exhibit, a jazz concert, and (hopefully) something in our Taylor Theatre.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">• Artisans may choose to have their booth outside. Some artists expressed hesitancy in being indoors on the first weekend of Western New York Summer. We think a hybrid event will help to expand interest in the community.<br /><a href="https://www.artfairinsiders.com/profiles/blogs" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}12373020883,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="600" alt="12373020883?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></span></p>
