Welcome to the Midsummer Arts Faire

The Midsummer Arts Faire is designed to engage people of all ages and experiences in the joy of creativity. The centerpiece of this three-day festival is a juried fine art exhibition and sale, complemented by great entertainment, wonderful food, hands-on children’s activities, a Young Collectors Gallery, and an architectural tour– all in the heart of the Historic Quincy Business District!

Spend a leisurely weekend in Washington Park and welcome 52 artists who were selected in a competitive jury process from over 100 applicants. Meet eighteen new artists this year, and renew friendships with our returning participants, many of whom will demonstrate their craft. This showcase represents diverse styles and techniques and includes original oils and acrylics, vibrant watercolors, unique sculpture, dazzling jewelry, decorative and functional ceramics, vivid photography and so much more.

A fine art festival of this caliber is the result of generous community support. We thank our business, organizational and individual sponsors for their financial or in-kind investment, and our many volunteers for their efforts.

The Midsummer Arts Faire was founded by local artist Pat Surface in 2004 with support from a variety of community and cultural organizations. We are pleased to announce that the Midsummer Arts Faire is now a Charitable NFP Corporation, which helps to support art in area schools. We continue to appreciate the community collaboration which makes this possible.

Sincerely,
The Midsummer Arts Faire
