Greetings from the Marion Arts Festival, in Marion Iowa! (Adjacent to Cedar Rapids, in East Central Iowa.) The MAF presents 50 artists, offering both fine art and fine craft to an audience of 10,000. Our community awaits you!

• Consistently named among Art Fair SourceBook’s Top 50 events!

• Consistently named among Art Fair Insiders’ Top 5 “America’s Smaller Art Fairs”!

• Among Art Fair SourceBook’s “Elite 25” for 2017!

Marion is a "vintage uptown" type of community and a part of the Cedar Rapids metro area.  Our show is one-day, intimate, and purposeful, with the mission to be an event through which you will thrive.

From AFSB artist reports:

"Fantastically run [...] major fine artists [...] wonderful extra art-related events. No music. No beer. It's awesome."

"This is a gem of a show in an unlikely place. The show […] works hard to make this a worthy arts festival and ensures that each artist is "one-of-a-kind" within the fifty-artist event. The show generated record sales for me, and my one-day sales here topped my previous single-day sales record by a very wide margin. All in all, this is an easy and profitable show to do."

"My best show of the year! A niche market that never disappoints."

Are we right for you?

Don't hesitate to ask questions! Contact us HERE! Our fervent belief is that it’s truly awful to be the right artist at the wrong show. We want to be the right show for you.

Thank you so much for your interest -
We look forward to seeing your work!
