        The Cain Park Arts Festival is a juried fine arts and fine crafts event, featuring the work of 150 artists; approximately 25 of these artists are award winners from the previous year who were automatically accepted into the next year's show. All other spaces are open: usually 50-60% are first-time Cain Park exhibitors. The Festival is comprised of approximately 55% two-dimensional art, which includes painting, watercolors, hand-pulled prints and photography. The other 45% includes fine crafts in all categories ranging from sculpture, ceramics, all media of jewelry, wood, leather, glass and other materials in proportions dictated by the number of applicants and the quality of their work.

        The Arts Festival audience buys art at all price levels. The advertising and promotion targets an audience totally diverse in age, artistic background, and affluence. Our objective is to offer the best quality art in all price ranges.

        This three-day outdoor event is held in a municipally owned and operated park in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, located 8 miles east of downtown Cleveland. A diverse, progressive vital suburb with nearly 51,000 residents, Cleveland Heights promotes an environment rich in the arts. Minutes from University Circle, Cleveland's cultural center, Cleveland Heights is a city of exceptional natural and architectural beauty which many artists and artisans call home.

        Supplemental to the art exhibits, restaurant-quality food concessions and entertainment are set up away from the artist exhibit areas.
