UPTOWN ART FAIR 2014On behalf of the Uptown Association, welcome to the 51st annual Uptown Art Fair! As the producer of the event since 1973, the Uptown Association is proud and honored to have you as one of our valued artists. The fair began in 1964 as a way to increase awareness of the arts while raising money for Uptown projects. Although the event has grown and changed over the years, its core mission remains the same. Each year, much of the proceeds from the fair are returned directly to the community to enhance numer-ous programs and activities.

This internationally recognized fair offers diverse, lively activities and world-class artists. Don’t miss our exciting features this year, including the Kitchen Window Culinary Arts Competition presented by The Wedge, interactive family activities and demonstrations, daily and evening musical performances, a world class youth art fair and a bigger and better Uptown Information Booth offering gift bags and exclusive Uptown merchandise.

Aside from showcasing amazing art, the fair is a celebration of the hip, refreshingly unconventional Up-town community. Uptown is a crossroads that connects the energy of the city and the calm of the lakes. It’s a destination that combines shopping and dining with nature and lifestyle. Centered around Calhoun Square at Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue, Uptown blends the sophisticated, the scenic and the stylish into a decidedly urban environment—a perfect potpourri of places to go and people to see. We urge you to explore our community during your visit and experience this fabulous neighborhood for yourself!

The Uptown Art Fair is a labor of love made possible by hundreds of volunteers, the generosity of spon-sors, the kindness of local businesses, and those who support the arts. In our humble (and admittedly biased) opinion, it’s the best art fair around and we think our 385,000+ patrons agree – visitors have made the Uptown Art Fair the 2nd most attended event in the State of Minnesota (only second to the Minne-sota State Fair). We hope you enjoy it!

Sincerely, TheUptownArtFairSteeringCommittee andUptownAssociationBoardofDirectors

HISTORY

COMMEMORATIVE ARTIST

51 years ago, a group of local businessmen and women in the Uptown Commercial Club tried to develop ways to increase traffic and draw more people to the core of Uptown. In the late 1950’s, the Uptown area had fallen on hard times so there was interest of area businesses and residents toregain the popularity of the past. One ideawas an art fair and the Uptown Art Fair wasborn!

The first Uptown Art Fair was held in 1964 and featured 146 artists selling their wares on folding tables on the sidewalk. It brought art into everyday life onto the streets of an urban neighborhood and brought increased attention to the business dis-trict in the Hennepin – Lake area. Throughout the 1960’s, Uptown continued to gain a reputation as an “artsy” neighborhood and the Art Fair added to that perception. In later years, the newly formed merchants association, the Uptown Association, took over the production of the event and new ideas emerged to make the event bigger and bet-ter. One key idea was to increase the quality of the show and attract new artists through the develo-

Annually, the Uptown Art Fair selects an artist to create a piece of art to commemorate the event. The work is transformed into a poster and incorporated into pro-motional materials and merchandise available to art fair attendees. The Uptown Art Fair Committee ispleased to announce that Heather Renaux is our 2014 Commemorative Artist.

Heather Renaux is a painter who mixes her pop surreal-ism style with a folk twist to create one of kind piece of art. Heather lives in Hopkins, MN with her husband and two young daughters. A native of Wyoming, she has also lived in California and Florida. She is a graduate of the Parsons School of Design, has illustrated children’s books, owned her own art business and has been fea-tured in galleries across the US.

ment of a jury system that required higher artist standards than before.

Since then, the Uptown Art Fair has evolved into an internationally recognized 3 day fine arts festi-val and one of the top 10 fine arts festivals in the country. With 350 artists representing 36 states and 3 international countries, and over 385,000 art enthusiasts enjoying the show, the event is the largest art fair in the state of Minnesota and second only to the Minnesota State Fair in number of attendees.

If you have extra time after registering, we recomment exploring Uptown, enjoying a cup of coffee, or grabbing a bite to eat. There are many great restaurants and cafes within the bustling neighborhood of Uptown!
