National Survey Picks Local Art Fair as Among Best in the Nation
Sunriver Art Fair is a winner in the 5th annual America’s Best Art Fair Awards competition. Named as the #1 Small-Town Art Fair, as well as one of the Top 50 Overall, the survey recognized Sunriver Art Fair as one of the finest juried art fairs in the country for the second year running.
Sponsored by ArtFairCalendar.com, the number one website for art fair event listings, the 2017 online survey opened voting beyond the traditional “art fair insiders” such as artists and show staff to focus on voting by art fair patrons, fine art collectors and the public that attends art shows and festivals nationwide.
“Sunriver Art Fair has always been popular among art fair lovers and visitors to Central Oregon, but our fourth annual national Best Art Fairs Awards survey proves that both art collectors and artists nationwide love it, too,” said Connie Mettler, publisher of ArtFairCalendar.com. “We’re happy to give a Best Small Town Art Fair Award to Sunriver Art Fair today.”
“We’re very pleased at this recognition of Sunriver Art Fair by ArtFairCalendar.com’s Best Art Fair Awards, said Kathleen Meyer Turner, Sunriver Art Fair chair. “We have a great team of more than 140 volunteers who work hard every year to produce this important cultural event that brings so much art, business and cultural activity to the beautiful Village at Sunriver. The fact that net proceeds benefit local community nonprofits makes the award even more meaningful.”
