Please clean up after your dog.
Anyone with a dog considered by the security personnel to be a nuisance to other people on the festival site, may be asked to leave the site and refused permission to re-enter, unless they have made arrangements for the dog to be looked after outside of the festival site.

The patron art pick-up will be at Gate 4 by the Town Center Parking Garage. Patrons will need to present their art buyers stub provided by the artist at time of purchase to pick up art.
How do I start my collection?
Anyone can collect art, but how you do it matters. Collecting art is not just for the wealthy, the famous or the elite in our society. Becoming a collector is a bit different than merely decorating your home, and it may take time, patience and education to build a collection that reflects your interest.
