Patrons can purchase original works of art and have the opportunity to meet exhibiting artists, learn the sources of their inspirations and ask questions about techniques.

Downtown Third Street in Geneva serves as a picturesque backdrop for the outdoor fine arts show that has been voted tops by Best Art Fairs by artfaircalendar.com.
