Rula Carr, Owner, The Vault at 1930 Art Gallery, commeted on the recent history of the San Marco Art Festival as currently conducted:
“In 2019 we felt a need to “Bring The Festival Back” to San Marco after what had been an annual festival did not happen for several years! After emerging from the COVID pandemic in 2022, and in collaboration with the San Marco Merchants Association, the Festival was a resounding success in 2022 with hundreds of patrons attending each day of the Festival. We are again very excited to promote the 2023 San Marco Art Festival and help support our local artists, and we ask everyone to help support this event and support our talented artists and our galleries. We are surrounded by art in our daily world, whether it be in a painting we see that brings us joy, an advertisement that captures our imagination, or a cartoon that reaches out and makes us share it with our friends. Art is a big part of humanity, how we express ourselves and communicate.”
“Art events such as this are paramount for the future of strengthening ties with our immediate community, our city and our artists and local small businesses! So, we ask you to support LOCAL artists and businesses!”
