Geneva Arts Fair to feature work of 155 artists
The 2018 Geneva Arts Fair will provide a venue for more than 155 talented artisans to sell their original works of art to thousands of art enthusiasts, while offering patrons the unique opportunity to meet exhibiting artists, learn the sources of their inspirations, ask questions about techniques, commission a specific piece and of course purchase existing fine works of art.
The Geneva Chamber of Commerce is proud to host this prestigious Arts Fair, set for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, July 28-29, in downtown Geneva along Third Street.
The artists selling and displaying their work come from all over the U.S. Many different types of art will be featured, including jewelry, glass, sculpture, watercolor, fiber, oil, mixed media, painting, printmaking, pastel, photography, ceramics, drawing, wood, and acrylic. Admission is free.
On Saturday, eight awards of excellence worth $500 each will be presented for 2-D and 3-D artwork.
Once again, the expertise and products of Plandscape Inc. will transform the corners of South Third and Franklin streets into a comforting, breathtaking display of foliage and color.
