“We have been encouraged by the diversity of artists that have participated in the past and want to continually bring new talent to the show,” said Show Co-Chair, Chrissy Trilling-Raices. “This is a quality juried art show and presented as a celebration of all forms of art, from the traditional to the contemporary.”

Besides a wide range of art forms, the weekend show includes children’s art activities and live entertainment by local musicians. “An Art Affair Around the Square has a well deserved reputation among artists as an artist-friendly show,” said Barb Cima, Show Co-Chair. “We treat our artists well with a breakfast both on Saturday and Sunday morning. We will also watch their booths for them if they need to run an errand or while they go to lunch.”
