ARTIST TESTIMONIALS

This is a very well-run Festival. The crowds are very large and are prepared to buy art. I made great sales, got great feedback, and met some strong business connections for the future! – Kelly

The staff, set up, load-in and load-out, are all very well organized and the staff is super friendly and communication before the show is excellent. – Shelley

Stone Arch has been one of my favorite festivals for over 15 years. It’s so well attended. Seasoned organizers and artists make it an undeniable Twin Cities favorite. “See you at Stone Arch!” is what my customers say time and time again. – Stacey

Being a first time vendor at a large art festival, I have to say Stone Arch Bridge Festival set the bar pretty high for me! – Kristin
