November 7 & 8 Winnsboro, Texas Saturday 11-5; Sunday 11-4 Downtown in the Cultural Arts District Sponsored by the Main Street Partnership 75 Artists Deadline: June 15 In early November when the rest of the country is turning cold, the trees in Northeastern Texas are in full color and the daytime temperatures are in the 60's and 70's. What a perfect way to conclude your art fair season and make those last minute holiday sales! The quaint community of Winnsboro, Texas, will be hosting its First Annual Fine Art Market November 7th and 8th in its historic downtown. Streets will be closed to traffic and transformed into an art buyer's Mecca. The area surrounding the town's restored train depot will have continuous musical entertainment and food from local restaurants. For those unfamiliar with Texas, the "Upper East Side" is heavily wooded with numerous lakes, making it a relaxing retreat for harried urbanites wanting a little slower pace and a lot friendlier atmosphere. A short drive from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, second homes dot the seven lakes within a 12 mile radius of Winnsboro and the City has become the center of dining and shopping for tourists. Winnsboro is one of seven cities invited by the State of Texas to apply for one of the first Cultural Arts District Designations to be awarded in August. It is a Main Street City and a Certified Retirement Community. The economy in Texas has been holding its own compared to the rest of the country and event promoters believe this will be the first of many successful art markets. Because of its growing art community, the Winnsboro Fine Art Market will be highly marketed in the Dallas area and we expect to garner a substantial turnout of patrons wanting a relaxing weekend. In addition: --Purchase Awards are being presold to guarantee purchases at the Market --a Patrons' reception will be held on Friday evening to kick off the event And my personal favorite: --To make the weekend relaxing for exhibiting artists as well, event promoters have made arrangements with a nearby retreat for the use of their newest addition-a lodge overlooking the woods with private rooms and baths for only $49 a night-the perfect chance to relax and mingle with other artists in the common area of the lodge. We hope you'll join them this fall for a profitable and enjoyable weekend in East Texas. For more information please visit their website at www.winnsboroart.com or call 903-342-3438.
