My heart is so full today. Thank you to every single person who came out to support the Art of the Ozarks: Fine Art Fair this year β our artists, our patrons, our performers, and our incredible community. You showed up with so much love for the arts, and it truly means the world.
To our artists: thank you for bringing your soul, your talent, and your bravery to this show. You turned the Expo Center into something magical.
To our art patrons: thank you for showing up, supporting local creativity, and investing in the people who make the Ozarks such a rich and vibrant place to live.
A huge thank-you to Tony Menown, whose help with organizing and coordinating our performers made the atmosphere unforgettable. Your support brought an energy to the fair that everyone felt.
To Mercurial Girl Studios β my right hand, my calm in the storm, and the queen of keeping me organized on social media β thank you for everything you do behind the scenes to keep this event flowing.
To my parents and to all of our volunteers: thank you for showing up, stepping in, and helping me run every station with grace and patience. I couldnβt do this without you.
And to the Expo Center staff β thank you for being so accommodating and helping us pull off another successful year.
Together, we also made a difference for our community:
π $335 raised for Ozarks Food Harvest
($315 50/50 Raffle + $20 donation)
π 90 pounds of food donated
Iβm so grateful for this community. Thank you for helping me make Art of the Ozarks something special year after year. Iβm already dreaming about what weβll build together next year.
