UPTOWN ART FAIR 2016 On behalf of the Uptown Association, welcome to the 53rd annual Uptown Art Fair! As the producer of the event since 1973, the Uptown Association is proud and honored to have you as one of our valued sponsors. The fair began in 1964 as a way to increase awareness of the arts while raising money for Uptown projects. Although the event has grown and changed over the years, its core mission remains the same. Each year, much of the proceeds from the fair are returned directly to the community to enhance numerous programs and activities. Aside from showcasing amazing art, the fair is a celebration of the hip, refreshingly unconventional Uptown community. Uptown is a crossroads that connects the energy of the city and the calm of the lakes. It’s a destination that combines shopping and dining with nature and lifestyle. Centered around Calhoun Square at Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue, Uptown blends the sophisticated, the scenic and the stylish into a decidedly urban environment—a perfect potpourri of places to go and people to see. We urge you to explore our community during your visit and experience this fabulous neighborhood for yourself! The Uptown Art Fair is a labor of love made possible by hundreds of volunteers, the generosity of sponsors, the kindness of local businesses, and those who support the arts. In our humble (and admittedly biased) opinion, it’s the best art fair around and we think our 385,000+ patrons agree – visitors have made the Uptown Art Fair the 2nd most attended event in the State of Minnesota (only second to the Minnesota State Fair). We hope you enjoy it! Sincerely,
The Uptown Art Fair Board and Uptown Association Executive Team

OVERVIEW The Uptown Art Fair, now celebrating its 53rd year, takes over the commercial district in Uptown Minneapolis. What began as a neighborhood art sale just down the block from what is now Calhoun Square has now developed into a nationally recognized event. Hosting 350 artists, the Uptown Art Fair caters to tourists, art enthusiasts, artists, and festival-goers from around the country, and is the major fundraiser for the Uptown Association.
HISTORY 53 years ago, a group of local businessmen and women in the Uptown Commercial Club tried to develop ways to increase traffic and draw more people to the core of Uptown. In the late 1950’s, the Uptown area had fallen on hard times so there was interest by area businesses and residents to regain the popularity of the past. One idea was an art fair and the Uptown Art Fair was born! The first Uptown Art Fair was held in 1964 and featured 146 artists selling their wares on folding tables on the sidewalk. It brought art into everyday life onto the streets of an urban neighborhood and brought increased attention to the business district in the Hennepin – Lake area. Throughout the 1960’s, Uptown continued to gain a reputation as an “artsy” neighborhood and the Art Fair added to that perception. In later years, the newly formed merchants association, the Uptown Association, took over the production of the event and new ideas emerged to make the event bigger and better. One key idea was to increase the quality of the show and attract new artists through the development of a jury system that required higher artist standards than before. Since then, the Uptown Art Fair has evolved into an internationally recognized 3-day fine arts festival and one of the top 10 fine arts festivals in the country. With 350 artists representing 34 states and 3 international countries, and over 385,000 art enthusiasts enjoying the show, the event is the largest art fair in the state of Minnesota and second only to the Minnesota State Fair in number of attendees.

2016 COMMEMORATIVE ARTIST: Robinson Scott Each year, the Uptown Art Fair selects an artist to create a piece of art to commemorate the event. The work is transformed into a poster and incorporated into promotional materials and merchandise then made available to art fair attendees. The Uptown Art Fair Committee is pleased to announce Robinson Scott as our 2016 Commemorative Artist! Scott is a native of Minnesota and currently resides in Anoka, MN. At an early age, Scott was drawn to expressing himself creatively. His father, an art teacher, fueled his creative drive by introducing him to various types of art such as drawing, welding, clay, metal, and more. The last exposure, glass blowing, had the most impact and ignited a new passion. After getting acquainted with glass at his father’s studio, Robinson began to search for outlets to gain more knowledge. His opportunity to move to Sweden and work with two master glassblowers in their studio for a year, began a 40 year mission of understanding the process of making glass and creating art pieces. Each one of a kind piece is blown and shaped into a beautiful mixture or color, design and shape. Scott says, “As I have worked with glass over the years, I am impressed with how much I continue to learn. The techniques and applications not only seem limitless, the fact has become painfully obvious that I will run out of time on earth before I run out of ideas for creative expression in this material. Each time I pick up a blowpipe, I pursue difference and personal perfection in form and design.” As a glassblower and 3D artist, Scott was honored to be selected to be the commemorative artist for the 2016 Uptown Art Fair. To have a three dimensional artist recognized as a commemorative artist is less common and to showcase the material and work that Scott loves on such a stage is an honor. He blows glass because he loves it and says “it doesn’t always feel like work” because he’s constantly altering discovering and altering his process. He is interested in sharing his 40 years of experience with glass and the dedication to the process with the community. This commemorative piece was created using a technique Robinson has practiced and refined to bring a subtle, dynamic, three dimensional, visual experience to the observer. The technique involves a complicated layering process of clear and colored glass that results in crisp edges and subtle vignettes. Scott will be located at booth #320 on the Northwest corner of Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue.

COMPLIMENTARY VALET BIKE PARKING PRESENTED BY MY BIKE PROJECT WHEN: LOCATION:
Open daily, 15 minutes before the fair opens until 15 minutes after it closes. Intersection of Humboldt Avenue and “The Mall” (near the Midtown Greenway trail) The My Bike Project is a non-profit organization that provides programming and resources to encourage bicycling and walking in currently underrepresented communities throughout the Twin Cities. The My Bike Project is a program of the Cultural Wellness Center. Founded in 1996, the Cultural Wellness Center exists to unleash the power of citizens to heal themselves and to build community.
As a teen and young adult run venture, The My Bike Project is committed to increasing bicycling and walking infrastructure that creates and implements a culturally empowering lifestyle and health engagement process. The program supports a culture that normalizes bicycling and walking for transportation, recreation and health improvement in communities currently experiencing disparities in health, education and economics. We encourage our guests to use alternative transportation, and we hope this partnership will be an added convenience for your visit.

The Uptown Art Fair staff reserves the right to expel, without refund, any exhibitor bringing a vehicle onto the streets during times that the Art Fair is open to the public. Public Parking The Uptown Art Fair sells a limited number of parking spots to the general public in the Sons of Norway lot located at near the intersection of Lake Street and Humboldt Avenue.

Truck Parking A limited amount of truck parking is available for Sponsors/Vendors on the Art Fair property. It is available on a first-come, first served basis. Every attempt will be made to allow Sponsors/Vendors to park in close proximity to their booth space. A fee will be assessed for each truck based on the length ($25 per foot per day). Trucks cannot be left running overnight. The truck fee needs to be paid prior to the start of the event to prevent forfeiture of parking space.

June 7, 2016 Dear Uptown Community Members, The Uptown Art Fair, to be held August 5 – 7, 2016, is rapidly approaching. We want to make the weekend positive and beneficial for all businesses, residents and friends of Uptown so we would like to take a moment to share important details about the event. The Uptown Art Fair began 53 years ago as a neighborhood art sale just down the block from what is now Calhoun Square. Its mission was, and continues to be, promoting and raising funds to better serve the community. Proceeds from the art fair have funded bike racks, vinyl wrapping of utility boxes, education programs, bicycles for the beat cops and donations to neighborhood organizations to name a few. •
The Uptown Association will be applying for an Amplified Sound Permit through the City of Minneapolis for the Performance Stage throughout the duration of the event. The performance stage occurs in the Salsa a la Salsa Parking lot (2841 Hennepin Ave.). Performances will take place on Friday, August 5 (3pm – 8pm); Saturday, August 6 (2pm – 8pm); and Sunday, August 7 (1pm – 5pm).
•
During the event set up and teardown, we ask for your patience and understanding. Although our event is the second most attended in the state, our staff is small and we rely on the kindness of more than 800 people – our volunteers – to make this event a success. This letter contains information on what streets and areas will be closed and when. We will do everything in our power to make sure that the event is neighbor-friendly.
•
The City of Minneapolis grants the Uptown Association all rights to the sidewalks during the Art Fair. Sidewalk cafes, A-frame/sandwich board signs, solicitation of marketing materials and the selling of beverages and products outdoors will be prohibited within the 6 block radius of Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue during the Art Fair primarily due to safety concerns. The City of Minneapolis will enforce this ordinance, with the exception of businesses with outside seating existing prior to development of the Block Event Permit.
•
Complimentary Metro Transit bus passes are available for Uptown businesses and their employees for August 6 & 7. Complete and return the enclosed form by July 15.
•
It takes a community to put on an event such as the Uptown Art Fair. We are looking for volunteers to do a variety of tasks. You can pick the job, the day and the time you want to work at www.uptownartfair.com/volunteer
We hope you have a chance to walk the streets and enjoy the festivities!

MEDIA DO'S AND DON'TS DO be polite in all of your dealings with the media; treat them with the same courtesy you extend to fairgoers. DO ask the reporter or photographer for his or her name, the name of the media organization they work for, and the nature of the inquiry. DO offer to locate the PR team or the fair spokesperson who can speak with the reporter or photographer. DO ask the reporter or photographer to wait for the PR team/fair spokesperson at headquarters or, if safety is an issue, escort the reporter or photographer to another pre-determined waiting area. If necessary, station a guard near an unsafe situation to prevent media (and attendees) from wandering into it. DO respond to the media by saying something similar to: "XXXX, who handles publicity at Uptown Association, would be happy to help you. I'll contact him/her for you if you would please give me your name, the news organization you're with, and what you need. DON'T forcibly try to prevent the media from doing its job -- asking questions and taking pictures. Do not touch a photographer's camera or try to cover the camera lens. If a situation is extremely sensitive, escort the media outside the building and inform those present that Uptown Association policy does not allow media inside the area during crisis situations. Again, offer to locate the PR team/Association spokesperson, and, again, station a guard with the media to prevent representatives from wandering. DON'T volunteer information to media representatives or feel pressured to respond to questions. Always remember to refer media to the public relations team or an Uptown Association spokesperson.

Try to determine and accept the individual's point of view. Do not confront/detain the individual if violent/combative. If the person leaves, do not try to stop them. Follow at a safe distance and inform authorities so action can be taken. If not, then potentially the problem just moves elsewhere but still exists. Have someone meet security or medical personnel at the location and provide up to date information.
AIRBORNE RELEASE OF A HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE If there is the potential for an airborne release of a toxic or hazardous substance due to a transportation accident in or around the event area, or notification by police, fire department or county officials that an airborne release in the jurisdiction occurred, police or fire department officials will notify event staff. The vulnerability zone is an area over which the airborne concentration of a chemical involved in an accidental release could reach the Level of Concern. The Level of Concern is defined as the concentration of an Extremely Hazardous Substance in the air above which there may be serious irreversible health effects or death as a result of a single exposure for a relatively short period of time. The lead-time of an airborne release incident could be from 0-30 minutes. As a result, this short time may not allow for a safe evacuation. An evacuation under these conditions may expose the population to dangerous toxic chemicals; therefore, the recommendation is to take shelter. Preferred areas for protective sheltering would be interior hallways, rooms without windows or exterior doors, enclosed stairways and rooms on the side of the building away from where the hazard is approaching. Doors, windows and other potential air leaks should be sealed up to prevent toxic fumes from entering.
RECOMMENDED SHELTER INSTRUCTIONS: AIRBORNE RELEASE o o o o o o
Once notified by city or county officials, close all doors to the outside, and close and lock all windows. Turn off fume hoods, range hoods, air handlers and all air conditioners and switch inlets to the "closed" position. Seal any gaps around window type air conditioners. Seal off all vents, grills or other openings to the outside to the extent possible. If the gases start to bother you, hold a wet cloth or handkerchief over your nose and mouth. Minimize the use of elevators in buildings. These tend to "pump" outdoor air in and out of a building as they travel up and down. Tune to the Emergency Broadcast Station on your radio or television (personnel with radios stay in contact with Command Post) for further information and guidance. Do not evacuate your building unless told to do so by the police or fire department personnel
