Coastal Caravan 2025:
We’re excited to announce that the 3rd Annual Coastal Caravan Art Fair will be held on Saturday, July 26th on the grounds of the Oliver Art Center. This will be a juried fair, the goal being to present shoppers with a high-quality shopping experience featuring handmade and original works, offering our participating artists an enjoyable opportunity to sell their products. The show will begin at 10:00 am and end at 4:00 pm and is free to the public. We will promote the event on our website, on social media, via email, in print, on IPR radio, and with yard signs throughout the region.
Our booth fees remain $50, with artists retaining 100% of their sales.
Some of the activities we have planned will help enhance the day and drive attendance:
- Live music performances during the afternoon hours.
- A food truck will be on site.
- The OAC Bloody Mary bar and beer and wine tent will be back!
- A very limited number of indoor booths are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
