Become a Patron.

The Fall Festival's Patron Program is designed for local art lovers who pledge at least $400. Of this amount, $250 is returned to them as vouchers to be used exclusively for purchasing art at the event, thereby directly supporting the artists. In return, Patrons receive exclusive benefits, including access to special events, VIP parking during the Festival, and opportunities to socialize with other art enthusiasts, all while enhancing the festival's prestige.

How the Fall Festival’s Patron Program Works

Each Patron/Collector pledges a minimum of $400 in artist purchase support. The Festival retains $150 to help run the program, and to provide Patron events and benefits (see below). Before the Festival, each Patron/Collector receives the remainder ($250) in purchase vouchers which can be used only at the Festival to purchase work from exhibiting artists.
