UPTOWN ART FAIR 2015
On behalf of the Uptown Association, welcome to the 52nd 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.
This internationally recognized fair offers diverse, lively activities and world-class artists. Don’t
miss our exciting features this year, including the Kitchen Window Culinary Arts Competition
presented by The Wedge Community Co-op, interactive family activities and demonstrations,
day and evening musical performances, a world class youth art fair and a bigger and better
Uptown Information Booth offering gift bags and exclusive Uptown merchandise.
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 Steering Committee and Uptown Association Board of Directors

OVERVIEW
The Uptown Art Fair, now celebrating its 52nd
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
52 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 of 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.

2015 COMMEMORATIVE ARTIST: Brian Delozier
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 available to
art fair attendees. The Uptown Art Fair Committee is pleased to
announce Brian Delozier as our 2015 Commemorative Artist.
Delozier, a Pennsylvania native now currently living in Little Falls, Minn.,
discovered his passion for art, specifically his form of pointillism, after a
serious accident left him with limited mobility.
In 2002, at the age of 16, Delozier’s life changed dramatically when he
suffered an accident on a ski slope in Pennsylvania. He broke two
vertebrae in his neck and suffered a spinal cord injury that left him
paralyzed from the chest down. After months of therapy, he regained the
ability to walk but never regained complete use of his hands.
Five years after his accident, Delozier decided to pack up, leave Pennsylvania, and head to Hawaii. He
had no real plan, and was only in search of a change. It was in Hawaii that Delozier discovered his love
of drawing with dots, thanks to an artist who encouraged him just to try.
“I told him I couldn’t because of my lack of mobility,” says Delozier. “After much persistence on his part,
I finally agreed. Within an hour I had a colorful little area of dots formed, and I absolutely loved it. I had
no interest in art before my accident, but suddenly I had found my passion.”
Delozier’s passion bloomed and since then he has created hundreds of pieces using thousands of dots,
ranging from landscapes, flowers, animals, to geometric patterns.
“After my accident, I was depressed,
looking for a purpose in life. I felt lost,” says
Delozier. “After I discovered this form of
art, I came alive. It saved my life.”
Wings Over Uptown features more than

NEIGHBORHOOD/BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE
The following communications were distributed to Mall residents and Uptown
businesses within a 6 block radius of Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue in June and
July of 2015. To: Mall Residents From: Uptown Association Re: Parking during the 52
nd Annual Uptown Art Fair, August 7-9, 2015
In preparation for the Uptown Art Fair, beginning THURSDAY, AUGUST 6 at 9 AM there will be NO PARKING ON THE ENTIRE MALL so that artists can begin set up. Police officers hired by the Uptown Association will secure the Mall area and make sure that all activity ceases by 10 PM. As we realize this may be an inconvenience, arrangements have been made for Mall residents to park in local lots for no fee. A limited number of spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Mall residents may pick up parking permits at the Uptown Association office (1406 West Lake Street, Lower Level C) on MONDAY, JULY 27 or TUESDAY, JULY 28 from 4 PM-7 PM. These are the ONLY times permit distribution will occur unless arrangements are made prior to July 27 with Jill Osiecki (612-823-4581 or [email protected]). In order to obtain a permit, you MUST provide the following at the time of pick up:
Proof of residence (ID, utility bill, etc.)
License Plate Number The lots listed below are available for resident parking on a first-come, first-served basis. Your parking permit is for your car only. Hang your permit from your rearview mirror; if not visible at all times, your vehicle will be towed. * YWCA Ramp: Available from 8 AM on Friday, August 7 through Sunday, August 9 at 10 PM. Show the front desk attendant your pass to receive an exiting token. Please put your pass back in your car before leaving the lot. *Sons of Norway EAST Parking Lot: Located at W. Lake Street and Holmes Avenue. Available from 8 AM on Friday, August 7 through Sunday, August 9 at 10 PM. The Uptown Association sincerely appreciates your support and cooperation during the Art Fair. As our primary fundraiser, the event supports various programs and services designed to promote the vibrancy of our community including clean ups, extra security during the holidays, and marketing. In case of emergency or if you have any questions, contact the Art Fair office at 612-823-4581. Best wishes, Jill Osiecki Project Coordinator, Uptown Association

June 22, 2015 Dear Uptown Community Members, The Uptown Art Fair, to be held August 7 – 9, 2015, 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 52 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 City of Minneapolis granted the Uptown Association an Amplified Sound Permit 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 7 (3pm – 8pm); Saturday, August 8 (2pm – 8pm); and Sunday, August 9 (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.
In order to drive traffic to your businesses, the Uptown Association will promote you via area maps and coupon books (businesses had the opportunity to purchase ads in late 2014) at the Uptown Information Booth located at the top of The Mall.
Complimentary Metro Transit bus passes are available for Uptown businesses and their employees for August 8 & 9. Complete and return the enclosed form by July 17.
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.

SHOULD A SITUATION OCCUR…
Even with the best of plans, the occasional accident, incident or situation may occur. How the volunteers, staff and participants handle an incident is vitally important to all involved. The following “do’s and don’ts” should help enable those at the scene to handle a situation in the best and most effective way:
DO
STAY CALM
Immediately notify the Event Director, Maude Lovelle
Enlist the help of other volunteers and staff to assist you
Keep the area clear of spectators in order to allow authorities or emergency equipment to enter the area
If there is any likelihood of injuries, notify appropriate medical services
Refer media to the Event Director, Maude Lovelle, if and when you are approached by media
Get the names, addresses and phone numbers of any injured parties and all witnesses; utilize other volunteers and staff to ensure no one gets missed
Complete a “Situation Report” (next page in packet) as soon as possible and return to Event Director
DON’T
Speculate on cause, fault or outcome to anyone, including media
Attempt to handle the situation by yourself, notify Event Director immediately
Attempt to move an injured person who is not able to move on his or her own
THE SITUATION REPORT The report is needed for record-keeping, possible insurance reporting and will be the primary documentation the Uptown Art Fair has of the incident. The report should be filled out completely, accurately and at the time of the incident or immediately thereafter.
Situations can present themselves in a variety of ways. The following are examples of the types of situation that warrant a report:
Minor and major injuries
Disturbances or crowd problems Any situation involving security or emergency personnel Property damage Altercations Any incident involving arrest or police action Threats of physical force or violence
In the event that you are approached by the media, please do not volunteer information or feel pressured to respond to questions. Politely direct them to Maude Lovelle, the Event Director, at 612.414.3824.

DETAILED EMERGENCY PLAN
OVERVIEW This plan describes the responsibilities of the festival staff and outlines the actions of city and community emergency officials in the event of an incident or emergency. The Uptown Art Fair is subject to all types of emergency situations including, but not limited to: weather, fire, crime, terrorism and civil disturbance. City officials are in overall command of any emergency as declared by the on-site representative. Specific plans for Police, Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services have been developed by these agencies and are noted here by reference only. This document serves as a guideline for Festival volunteer action and reaction in emergency circumstances, and is not intended to supersede the emergency procedures utilized by the city but rather to work in concert with those procedures. Festival representatives will be able to review these procedures for the express purpose of coordinating Festival actions with the city. The Command Post is located at Calhoun Square, 2
nd floor (3001 Hennepin Avenue) and will serve as
the central point of control, coordination, communications, and information for the festival. Festival will appoint person(s) to serve as liaisons between Police Department, Fire Department, street and media. All public information regarding emergency situations and responses to those situations will be released by the Festival Spokesperson from a location to be determined by the Festival. This location may be at a location on the street or at the offices of the Uptown Association, 1406 West Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN. Under no circumstances will press briefings be disseminated from the Command Post. No other Festival Staff or Steering Committee member is authorized to speak on behalf of the festival in an emergency situation.
EMERGENCY TEAM The festival Emergency Services Team (ES Team) will be made up of the following persons:
Uptown Association President (Marcus Genzlinger)
Event Managers (Maude Lovelle/Jill Osiecki Gleich)
Fire Department representative
Off Duty Police Department representative (Lieutenant Mike Taylor)
On Duty Police Department representative
Festival Public Information Officer (Brian Bellmont) The Emergency Services Team will take the necessary steps, as detailed within this plan, to ensure the safety of all patrons in the event of an emergency. The ES Team will also determine what steps are needed to make the festival ready for operation following an emergency. As outlined above, the city will be in charge of any and all emergency situations. Festival Staff may not have a choice of action until the city releases the event back to the Festival Staff.
Safety: People First, Then Everything Else!

o Your name o Precise location o Observed symptoms of behavior o Individual's name, if known
Meet with the officer. Follow the officer's instructions. Until help arrives, be pleasant, considerate and understanding to avoid aggravating the situation. Do not argue with the individual. 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 Once notified by city or county officials, close all doors to the outside, and close and lock all windows. o 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. o Seal off all vents, grills or other openings to the outside to the extent possible. o 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. o 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. o Do not evacuate your building unless told to do so by the police or fire department personnel
