Port Warwick Art & Sculpture Festival

October 14 - 15, 2017

This 13th annual juried, fine arts festival is well known for exceptional treatment of the artists, many of whom return year after year.

We search for qualified artists who continually challenge themselves to achieve a higher artistic level both in subject matter and technique.

It is important to us that sales are brisk and incorporate a mixed marketing plan before the event. 

Some of the marketing we will be doing this year include: TV advertising, print  and online advertising, radio, social media, and press releases, to encourage the local media to report on this growing festival.
