THE ARTIST IS INOne thing we’ve heard consistently that people love about our fair is the chance to engage with our exhibitors’ artists. Well, we’ve listened and this Spring, we’ll be bringing back our newest program , The Artist Is In.

Saturday, March 23, exhibitors will bring along their artists, who will be in and out all day so that fairgoers have the opportunity to interact with the artist whose work inspires them. Throughout the day, you’ll know when a gallery artist is in by a little light in each booth.
