Artist Feedback :
“Probably the most organized and prepared show that I can remember, down to the artist name tag with my art on it! :) Thanks for all of the hard work!” - Petrus Martens of Martens Printworks
“I can’t say enough positive things about my first experience exhibiting at Art on the Grand. So much succinct and helpful communication, clear instructions for load in/out, helpful volunteers, amazing details and all around a supremely positive and lovely experience.” - Emily Wiedmaier of Taurus Trading Company
“I love the diversity of the vendors and attendees. One of, if not the most, organized load in for a show we’ve ever done and we do 18-20 shows a year! Everyone was super helpful and knowledgeable. We really appreciated the artist amenities. Sales were very strong.” - Artist
“Love doing this show and the fall one at The Hawk. You treat the artists so well and are so organized. It always feels like a smooth, easy process. I appreciate the amount of advertising you do in advance of each show and highlight each person’s work to really bring people out. Art on the Grand is always one of my most successful financial shows and I really enjoy the other artists I have met there. You keep it to high quality arts and crafts and a manageable number of vendors.“ - Beth Jensen of Altered Notions
“I thought the volunteer staff was outstanding and Farmington community was awesome! I also really appreciated the social promoting that was done on behalf of all artists!” - Myann from Moon Ceramics
“Thank you for once again giving us artists a beautiful, fun and welcoming place to sell our art. We had such a great weekend and loved every minute of it. We are proud to be included in your show and look forward to it each year. We get great feedback from our repeat customers how they look forward to seeing us there. Our sales were up from last year!” - Artist
“What do I love most about ART on the GRAND? The town. I love your show.” - Paul Mason
“I loved that you communicated via Remind - We didn’t have to keep refreshing emails or a vendor Facebook group to get important information. This was my first year participating at ART on the GRAND and I had an amazing weekend, even with Saturday’s horrifically hot day! I’ll definitely be applying again. Thanks so much for a well-organized & fun weekend!” - Ashley Hawke of Hawke Design
“The Farmington community is so welcoming and supportive of artists.” - Skylar Bre’z
”It has been one of my most successful shows. The staff and information sent out along the way was very helpful and the artist coffee and snacks were such a nice gesture. The setup and take down experience was smooth and calm, not rushed and hectic like some can be. The shoppers were fantastic and so kind and enthusiastic!” - Kimberly Wills of Knotting Along Macrame
“Great staff, good organization, well run, as crazy as setup and tear down always is, the staff does a great job of making it easier. Loved the printed maps and information, great job.” - Larry Orr
“The show was perfect this year. I loved the hours. Security presence was great. The text alert system is a really nice touch. It's just a wonderfully run show... just the right size. It feels like a friendly, home-town show.” - Barb Quenneville
