PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Paradise City Arts Festival
Royal Plaza Trade Center | Marlborough, MA
Event Dates: November 22-24

Celebrate the New Season!  

Held at the Royal Plaza Trade Center the weekend before Thanksgiving, this  beautiful, festive event has been New England’s “kick off the holidays” tradition  for almost twenty-five years.  

Paradise City Arts is a treasure-trove of gift ideas, one-of-a-kind home furnishings,  bespoke fashion, jewelry and fine art. With two cafes, live music each day, and this  season’s themed exhibit “Styling the Seasons” in the Sculpture Cafe, this event is a “must-see” for lovers of the arts in the Greater Boston region and across  New England.  

After more than two decades, the Directors still work diligently to keep their shows  fresh. Director Geoffrey Post says, “Each year, we combine new artists with the  returning, always with an eye toward curating an event that includes different price  points and aesthetics and tapping into the latest trends.”  

“People don’t realize how much work goes into the shows; we start preparing  months in advance. The jurying for the upcoming show in Marlborough was  actually completed last April!” exclaims Director Linda Post. “But we don’t mind  the intensive preparations. Every day, we’re surrounded by all these beautiful  objects and creative people. That’s a really good way to have to work.” 

In The Sculpture Café  

Enjoy our special themed exhibit showcasing works by our exhibiting artists &  makers in the sunlit café by the big windows. “Styling the Seasons” is this  year’s themed exhibition. While our collections, wardrobe, and home decor are ever-present, our appreciation for them and their function shifts as our  environment changes throughout the year. Each scene in this show is a tribute to a  season; blending colors, textures, and mediums that reflect how we greet the  cyclical phases of our natural world.  

This weekend Paradise City Arts presents original music, jazz vocals, cabaret songs,  stellar keyboards and bass by a different great band each day, from noon – 4pm.  

MPSMA Benefit  

The annual coat check and gift wrap station at the door benefits the Marlborough  Public Schools Music Association through voluntary donations. The Association  supports instrumental, vocal and dance groups in the local schools and after  school programs. The members are the parents of the music students, the students  themselves, music teachers and community supporters who have a strong belief in  the importance of music education. Paradise City Arts Festivals have raised more  than $500,000 over the years to benefit community causes.
