Free Automatic Applications to All Shows

Your membership includes automatic application to a full year of Paradise City shows. You have no application forms to fill out, no submission deadlines and no application fees to pay. This benefit alone saves you $100 annually!

Your application will be entered into the regular jury process for every show and you will be offered a contract for any show(s) to which you are accepted.

The jury will use the latest images we have on file for you. Members may submit new images at any time during the year through our online service portal My Paradise City,

Free Personalized Postcard Mailings

We mail a postcard with a custom printed message from you to your customers in each region where you’re exhibiting at a Paradise City Arts Festival. Every postcard we send includes a $2 off admission coupon, courtesy of the artist.

Completely free of charge, this service saves you hundreds of dollars in printing costs, postal fees and hours of time while increasing customer visits to your booth!

Your mailing list is used exclusively to promote the shows that you are accepted to and is not used for other shows, exhibitions or unrelated events.

40% off Advertising in the Paradise City Guide

Over 50,000 Guides are mailed and distributed for each show to proven buyers of art and craft. Members receive nearly 40% off the regular advertising rates, saving you hundreds of dollars seasonally!

Demographics indicate that Guide readers are affluent and educated homeowners with a strong interest in the arts. Artists who advertised in the Guide averaged over $800 more in sales than those who didn’t.

“B-Back” Email Campaigns

There’s a name for it. In the social circles of artists and craftspeople it’s called a “B-Back”. You’re browsing through many booths (or websites), love what you see, and can’t make up your mind. You say to yourself you’ll “be back”. “

B-Back email campaigns after each show encourage patrons to follow up on purchases they were considering while they are still fresh in their minds. Patrons will be directed to a special collection of Member artists participating in that show. Seeing an image of your work and having easy access to your website and contact info helps facilitate follow-up sales and commissions.

Free Opt-In Participation in All Virtual Shows

All Members have the option of free participation in all of our virtual shows. In 2020, Paradise City held three virtual shows to replace in-person shows that could not take place due to pandemic regulations.

Our virtual shows are well publicized and attended. In 2020, each virtual show attracted tens of thousands of visits to artists’ websites.

Free VIP Passes

Members receive four free VIP passes for each show in which they exhibit to encourage serious customers to attend or to contemplate a big purchase and return to your booth the next day.

These free passes can be sent in advance or can be left for your customers at the box office will-call window.
