About the Show
Paradise City Marlborough is an elegant, well-attended art and fine craft show in the Boston area with strong high end purchases across all media categories. The show attracts collectors from Boston, its affluent suburbs, Providence, southern New Hampshire and throughout Eastern and Central New England. Like its very successful sister show in the same location in November, it attracts considerable publicity in the Boston and suburban press.
Behind the scenes of a Paradise City Art Festival is a hive of creative activity and energy. Careful thought and planning ensure that each booth is presented to its best advantage while the atmosphere has been carefully crafted to ensure a positive experience for all. From the planning stages to the final sale, both the artists and the staff at the show put their hearts into the process, ensuring that visitors experience the exhibition in the best possible way. It’s the partnership of PCAF staff and the artists combining their passion, creativity, and hard work that makes these art shows such a great success.

At the entrance to Paradise City Marlborough is the Sculpture Café, which provides a prominent and effective display area which is used for special exhibitions and the placement of large-scale work. Acoustic jazz in the Sculpture Café lends a lively, upscale ambiance to the entire show.
