These festivals include only fine art; no crafts, production work or buy-sell are permitted. The exhibitor limit insures high artistic quality, excellent booth exposure and many sales opportunities to showgoers.  Artists experience annual visits by Hamptons residents and visitors who regularly attend. Amenities include close free parking, easy setup and teardown, supportive staff and volunteers. Very strong community support.
