As a participant in this event many times it was always a thrill to be in the midst of this well-run, leave-no-stone-unturned event, that exemplifies the best that an art fair can be. Convenient parking, enthusiastic art fair goers, family friendly activities, outreach to the region's Emerging Artists, well-supported by diverse local sponsors such as the Principal Financial Group, Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Meredith Publishing will ensure you amenities that will make this a "must attend" event every year. Competition for the 175 artist spaces is intense. Artists represented here are the "best of the best," carefully chosen for diversity and originality. You will love this art fair!
