The Community Arts Center has successfully conducted its juried artist event at Rose Tree Park for the past 8 years and will be moving the event to State Street in partnership with the MBA on Saturday, September 10. Beyond the benefit that this event consistently draws thousands each year, the intention of moving to State Street is to also make it retail-focused and increase shopping. There are two potential configurations for the artists' booths and we'd like your help in deciding which will be most beneficial to your business. We can either situate the artists down the middle of the street to open up the sidewalks and store fronts or we can have the artist booths in the usual configuration along the sidewalks. Click here to see a diagram and take a quick survey to let us know which configuration is preferred.

Are you doing anything else special for this time of year?  Please send us your details (discounts, promotions, hospitality, etc.) and we'll help spread the word through the VisitMediaPa.com calendar, iPhone app, Facebook and Twitter.
