“Our jury process is very selective, this is how we ensure a diverse and eclectic mix of styles and media that appeal to a broad variety of art enthusiasts and collectors,” says festival promoter Howard Alan. “There is truly something for everyone.”

“This festival has become one of our signature events,” says Becky Norton, General Manager for The Summit. “The Summit is a great back drop to enjoy art from all over the country and from our region.
