The Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show
The Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show is proud to be consistently recognized as one of the best Fine Art Shows in the country. Several important features distinguish our shows from other art shows.
Only original, non-functional fine art is accepted. The shows are led by a non-profit organization of fellow professional artists. The Board of Directors exhibits in both annual shows, creating an energetic, vested interest in success. Our focus on extensive marketing with the show’s website, social media, emailed newsletters, regional outdoor signage, and targeted advertising has propelled customer growth in the market. These factors, along with the consistent excellence of our artists, have contributed to a 98-year history of distinction.
