 Paradise City Arts Festival was founded in 1995 by a painter and a fiber artist with ambitious visions. Linda Horvitz Post (the painter) and her husband, Geoffrey Post (the fiber artist) wanted to create a show that incorporated the best of both worlds: the inspiring quality of the finest indoor craft shows with the excitement of an arts festival. Paradise City is unique among high-end indoor shows in that it includes a substantial percentage of gallery-quality paintings and sculpture in addition to fine crafts, and presents both in a well-designed exhibition setting. This combination has been exciting for collectors and stimulating for artists.
