WHY ART CITY AUSTIN? Because Austin is a great place to sell work and build a collector base. Austin is one of America's fastest growing cities, boasts a strong economy, and most importantly has a community that primarily identifies itself as putting arts and culture first. Art City Austin takes place in the center of it all, in Austin's vibrant downtown retail district. Art City Austin enters its 65th year. We've reduced our number of exhibiting artists to aprox 125 and saw artist reported sales double. This tighter, more focused show allows more opportunities for our artists to engage with patrons and sell work. Art City is a regional attraction, with about 30% of our attendees coming from outside of the city. Art City Austin is presented by Art Alliance Austin, a nonprofit organization with a full-time professional staff, Board of Directors, and more than 800 committed volunteers. Art Alliance Austin works year round to develop engaging events and projects that directly support artists and curators, as well as increase the size of our arts patron and collector community.

Why is ARTNADO the most innovative and creative art show of the season? It's genesis was not as a private

business to just make money from the work of artists but created as part of Artistic Synergy Inc., a registered

non profit corporation in Florida with the goal of assisting artists in varying ways with their careers. To create

such a robust art show required a year of planning where for the first time both sides of the success equation

As a professional artist, why should the Boston Mills Artfest be on your summer schedule?

We strive to attract both.

Positive word-of-mouth from satisfied customers is our best publicity, but we work tirelessly and year-round to publicize the Artfest. More than 50,000 postcards are sent out to households who have visited the Artfest in previous years, or are in locations with our targeted demographics. Cleveland Magazine prints the show programs and inserts copies into their June issue for distribution. Boston Mills also cultivates media and corporate partnerships to maximize the dollars we put into each year's advertising on a mix of billboards, print, and radio.

We strive to keep our show very artist-friendly. From the Artist Dinner before the show's Preview to the daily newsletters, food discounts, and open communication lines, we strive to make doing our show as easy as possible for all of our Exhibitors.

The Boston Mills Artfest consists of two separate shows on consecutive weekends. Boston Mills I will be June 26th-28th, 2015 and Boston Mills II will be July 2nd-5th, 2015.

NEW: Deadline for applications for the 2015 Boston Mills Artfest will be December 31, 2014.

The combination indoor/outdoor event is held in the shadow of a 1908, stone building with amazing stained glass windows (163 W. Center St., Peculiar, MO). The buildings and grounds are the campus of the Downtown Peculiar Arts & Culture District (DPACD); a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the revitalization of our Downtown as an arts district. The WAM is a key piece of our revitalization effort. We are a Missouri Main Street Connection Affiliate Community, a member of the Missouri Association of Community Arts Agencies and a Missouri Arts Council Creative Community recipient).

Per post festival surveys, most of our artist vendors do as well at our festival with regard to sales as they do in the larger events held around us; we do believe this is due to increased "face time". DPACD gives out Purchase Awards as part of the festival. Our stage is always hopping with large draw and local talent.  Local wineries host wine tastings throughout the event.
