Plan your visit

Allow time to look at the work before choosing a piece or moving to the next display. Notice scale, texture and materials in person. If work is available for sale, ask about its production, care and any delivery or installation arrangements.

Before you go

Check the promoter-maintained FestivalNet listing for the latest opening details, participating artists and arrival instructions. Confirm parking and any accessibility arrangements you need directly with the organizer.
