The Garden of the Gods Art Festival
The 3rd Annual Garden of the Gods Art Festival will take place at one of the most picturesque properties of Colorado Springs - Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site. This living history ranch shares the entrance road to Garden of the Gods park, a 1300 acre National Natural Landmark known for its sandstone rock formations. The park attracts 4.5 million visitors per year.
This new fine art and craft festival had a fantastic response from both artists and attendees during its first two years, and will be back to continue its momentum the 3rd weekend in May - May 16 & 17with set-up day on Friday May 15. Over 10,000 people came to the 2nd year show, and the buzz surrounding the event makes this a promising option for artists to consider. 150 artists will be juried to show and sell their work. The first wave of artists will be invitation-only, and the application will be open to the public on January 1st. The festival will be promoted by billboards, TV, print, direct mail, local press, and an extensive targeted digital campaign. Admission proceeds will benefit Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site. Parking for vendors and attendees is free & plentiful.
