This festival is organized by Dash Events & Rio Grande Festivals, and our goal is simple: to bring buyers and artists together through high-quality art experiences that are enjoyable for all and financially rewarding for our exhibitors. We invest heavily in multi-media advertising campaigns, which include TV, billboards, digital targeting, print, direct mail, e-blasts, and more. Our exhibitors are our top priority, and that’s why strong sales are the common thread behind our events’ national rankings. With a real family behind these festivals, we’re personally involved every step of the way! |
