The long running Chesterton Art Fair made a big move in 2016 to Dogwood Park, in the town of Chesterton, less than a mile from I-80 and I-94, making it an easy trip for art patrons from nearby Chicago and Michigan. Artists were rewarded with better sales at this accessible location.
What the artists had to say:
"LOVE the new location!" "Much better fair, plus convenient parking close by. Thank you" "Never sold so much art at one show...the people really came out!" "Much better food choices...thanks." "Great volunteers, so helpful."
(Major road construction projects on I-94 and the Indiana Toll Road, and locally Route 49 are finished! Should be smooth sailing ...)
Marketing:
Heavily advertised online and through social media outlets. Regional print advertising, postcards, banners, signage, email blasts.
