The Deerfield Festival of Fine Arts enjoys very strong and ongoing community support, reinforced by its multi-year history of presenting excellent art to the public.  It is hosted and widely publicized by The Village of Deerfield, the Deerfield Fine Art Commission and the Deerfield Park District, along with a broad media marketing campaign. Artists' amenities, including discounted hotel rooms, reserved parking, breakfasts, booth sitters, indoor restrooms, snacks and water delivered daily to artists' booths, are tops in the industry. 

Family activities draw heavily from among the community's upper-income residents.  Median home price: $710,000. Repeat purchases by show-goers have built an excellent reputation for the festival, as well as large return crowds.  Among the top shows in the art-oriented upper income Chicago suburbs.
