The Uptown Association
The art fair is the primary fund-raising method for the Uptown Association, a non-profit business association whose mission is to sustain the vitality and commercial value of the Uptown community. Funds from the art fair sustain the organization and have been used in the past for streetscaping, increasing the number of police officers in the community and holding events to educate local businesses and community members on crime and safety, how to better market themselves, and how to make Uptown a commercially viable community.

Famous quotes containing the word association:
“They that have grown old in a single state are generally found to be morose, fretful and captious; tenacious of their own practices and maxims; soon offended by contradiction or negligence; and impatient of any association but with those that will watch their nod, and submit themselves to unlimited authority.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
