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:
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
