Boston Mills Artfest

The Boston Mills Artfest is a nationally recognized fine art and fine craft show. 2008 marks the 37th consecutive year that the Artfest will be held Rain or Shine at Boston Mills Ski Resort, nestled in the scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park midway between Cleveland and Akron. (Need directions to Boston Mills? Click here.)

Artfest consists of two separate shows held on two consecutive weekends. Artists are not allowed to exhibit in both shows. All artwork on display is for sale, and the fine art and fine craft items available include ceramics, paintings, watercolors, glass, mixed media, wearable and nonwearable fiber, leather, wood, furniture, metal, sculpture, jewelry, and more.

A fun, festive Preview Night is held each weekend so that Artfest patrons can purchase art while sampling wines and hors d'oeuvres. Preview Nights are for ages 21 and over only and are held rain or shine.
