Top Ten in the
Sunshine Artist magazine rankings --We bring roughly
125,000 people to State College over five days in July (the first day of our Festival is Children's Day, and our artists set up at the end of the day, so that they are there four days) --Show is in its
44th year and is on Penn State campus and the streets of the Borough of State College. Actually, we were founded by the State College chamber of commerce and Penn State's College of Arts and Architecture as a "town/gown" event --
Penn State alumni return for "Arts Festival Alumni Weekend," a time to renew old college ties, attend special programs, and, of course, the arts festival --We hand out over
$17,000 in prizes --We also receive lots of support from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania-not only the Pennsylvania
Council of the Arts, but also the Pennsylvania Tourism Office --Our festival features the outdoor show, an indoor gallery exhibition, a celebration of Italian Street Painting, performing arts on three indoor stages and four outdoor stages --The Festival will be the
cover story in the summer of 2010 issue of
Pursuitsmagazine, the official magazine of the Pennsylvania Tourism Office, with a circulation of 400,000 Where is State College, PA?
Visit this link. Our take on it:
If you are sincere about your career at the art fairs, this is an event that you should seriously consider for your participation. The best reason is that your work will be seen by a clientele who comes from across the country for this annual reunion at their alma mater. The exposure to a new audience could lead not only to success here but it will broaden your art fair experience. Lots of Easterners attend, a great cultural mix.
