Pima Street. Old Town Cottonwood has reinvented itself as a world-class wine tourism destination with a number of fine-dining restaurants, bakeries, shops, galleries, and ten wine-tasting rooms including Maynard Keenan's new multi-million dollar wine-making/tasting room/restaurant located virtually across Main Street from the event. Only 30 minutes from Sedona and 10 minutes from Jerome, Old Town Cottonwood has become the region's hottest tourism destination. The event is held on a flat, grassy field that was once a baseball field and is city property. The event is only steps from Main Street and there is adequate parking for hundreds of visitors. Art that may appeal to tourists is strongly suggested. This event is promoted by two exhibiting artists with years of experience setting-up at outdoor art fairs and is structured with both the artist and the attendee in mind. There will be 36 booth spaces available at the premiere event. ### General information All applications are processed through Zapplication and must include five photos, four of which represent your work and one of your booth display.
