Q-Fest

From Q-Fest Website:

Q-FEST is a celebration of the arts (visual, musical and culinary) in Quincy, Illinois featuring a juried art exhibition and sale. We are pleased to welcome Fine & Fresh art where artists and makers representing both fine and curated handmade indie art are welcome. Q-FEST takes place the fourth weekend in June in historic downtown Washington Park.

In Quincy, our community prides itself on hospitality, and we believe there is no better example of our warmth than how we treat our exhibiting artists. We try to think of everything: water delivered to your booth, free coffee and treats in the morning, booth sitters for meal and bathroom breaks. Our volunteers bend over backwards to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Beyond this kindness, we work tirelessly to promote the festival to bring in a large crowd to purchase your art. We fund raise constantly to grow our awards and increase the amount of Art Fare ($$) in people's hands.

We accept a maximum of 60 artists to ensure individual sales remain strong. Show organizers are dedicated to growing the event to a regional cultural destination, and have partnered with community groups to include entertainment Friday and Saturday evenings and hands-on arts activities for the whole family throughout the weekend.
