National Survey Picks Local Art Fair as Among Best in the Nation
Gold Coast Art Fair is a winner in the 3rd annual “America’s Best Art Fair Awards” competition. Named as one of “America’s Best Art Fairs”, the survey recognized Gold Coast Art Fair as one of the finest juried art fairs in the country.
Sponsored by ArtFairCalendar.com, the #1 website for art fair event listings, the 2015 online survey opened voting beyond the traditional “art fair insiders” such as artists and show staff to focus on voting by art fair patrons, fine art collectors and the public that attends art shows and festivals nationwide.
“Gold Coast Art Fair has always been popular among art fair lovers in the Chicago area, but our 3rd annual national Best Art Fairs Awards survey proves that both art collectors and artists nationwide love it, too,” said Connie Mettler, Publisher of ArtFairCalendar.com. “We’re happy to give a “Best Art Fair Award to Gold Coast Art Fair today.”
“We’re very pleased at this recognition of Gold Coast Art Fair by ArtFairCalendar.com’s “Best Art Fair Awards,” said Amy Amdur. “We have a great team of staff and volunteers who work hard every year to produce this important cultural event that brings so much art, business, and cultural activity to the Chicago community.”
The “Granddaddy of American Art Festivals,” the Gold Coast Art Fair, rated one of the top 30 shows in the United States by Sunshine Artist Magazine and a top show by Art Fair Calendar in 2015, returns to Grant Park, Chicago’s premier festival destination! Now celebrating its 59th year, the Gold Coast Art Fair is the 3rd oldest and by far one of the most well attended art festivals in Chicago. Located within walking distance of the Art Institute of Chicago, Millennium Park, The Bean, and Buckingham Fountain, the Gold Coast Art Fair draws hundreds of thousands of art enthusiasts from Chicago and the surrounding suburbs annually. A heavy advertising program also brings in tourists who buy art as a memory of their special time in Chicago.
