about the show
The Paradise City Arts Festival is New England’s most exciting and
prestigious show of fine and functional art. “Springtime in Paradise”
attracted record attendance and extraordinary media coverage in
2008. 30% of the show’s attendees live in the region; 70% travel to
Northampton from New England, New York and beyond.
Located on Interstate-91 just 15 minutes north of the Massachusetts
Turnpike, Northampton is under an hour from Hartford, the Berkshires
and southern Vermont; under two hours from Boston, Albany and
southern Connecticut; less than three hours from New York City.
Designated 'The Best Small Art Town in America' and one of
AmericanStyle magazine's top 'Art Destinations', Northampton is a
cultural, dining and shopping destination for visitors from all over the
Northeast.
the facility
The Three County Fairgrounds is set against rolling hills by the majestic
Connecticut River, and is highly visible to the millions of tourists driving on
I-91. The show is completely under cover, and takes place indoors, in
the Arena and Morgan Buildings, and under a single large Exhibition Tent.
The indoor spaces are carpeted, with a mixture of natural and artificial light. The booths in the Morgan Buildings
have built-in storage. One large white Exhibition Tent houses the tented spaces at the entrance to the show.
A very large outdoor Sculpture Garden, set between the Morgan Buildings, provides exhibiting artists with
a beautiful setting for landscape-oriented pieces. An open courtyard, formed by the intersection of the three
buildings, the Exhibition Tent and the Sculpture Garden, provides placement for additional sculpture, greenery and
a convenient resting area for attendees.
amenities
Paradise City will furnish gray wall-to-wall carpeting in all indoor spaces, free
jewelry lock-up, exhibitor restrooms, storage, convenient exhibitor parking areas
and help with load-in and load-out. Advance promotional materials are provided at no charge. Full
convention services, including pipe and drape rental and drayage, will be
available. Paradise City's Festival Dining Tent, featuring some
of Northampton's most acclaimed restaurants and live jazz, provides an
upscale respite for collectors navigating the show.
