Purpose/Background:
Last summer marked the launch of our newly rebranded Two Rivers Art Fair—formerly the Elmcrest Art Fair—relocated from Elmcrest Park to The Draw. Our goal was to have more of an "Art Festival" feel and encourage people to spend more time at the event. In addition to artist vendors, we added and expanded it to include live entertainment all day, art demonstrations, free art classes, food trucks, yard games, and more.
The first Two Rivers Art Fair was a resounding success and we are excited to continue to expand on the event. For 2025 we opened registration for a maximum of 107 artist booths, and as of the end of June, we have officially sold out all of the booth spaces.
