In 2011, nine of Sugarloaf’s shows were ranked in the “100 Best Classic and Contemporary Craft Shows” nationally by Sunshine Artist Magazine.

Last year, artists sold more than $14.4 million in fine arts and contemporary crafts to more than 164,000 enthusiastic visitors at Sugarloaf shows. Both sales and attendance were up between 5% and 10% over the previous year.

Sugarloaf invests all exhibitor booth fees in the promotion and production of each show, and artists are supported with an aggressive marketing and advertising program. Show previews and artist interviews are regularly featured in the areas’ most prominent publications and on local television. Other benefits to artists at Sugarloaf shows include free VIP tickets for artists to distribute to their best customers and discounts for artists at hotels convenient to show venues. Artists can receive discounts on booth fees with flexible payment options.
