Art on the Square, Williamsburg.
This is a one day show so many op out once they hear that. Don't! This is a delightful and very well organized and established show that is worth the trip for one day. I personally spent seven hours to get there- but it was worth it to me. The weather was good which helped of course, but the setting could have not been better. Right down the middle of the main street in Historical Williamsburg (beautiful) and set up was a breeze. I have pretty contemporary encaustic work so I was a little worried that the show would have a lot of crafts and a colonial bent but that wasn't the case. It had a great cross-section of work and the reception to all work was excellent. It was the 50th Anniversary of the show and I made as much on that Sunday(usually slow-right?) as I do at a two day show. I have heard recently about the "Art on the Square" Shows and hear they are well chosen and organized and I think that is true. Lunch was delivered and booth sitters were on hand to help if needed. Lots of purchases and interest in the work and delightful, knowledgeable people to boot. Next time that you think that a one day show is not worth the drive and time -rethink - you might be pleasantly surprised!

Has anyone done shows in the Traverse City area - specifically the Cherry Festival Art Festival or the Art Center Outdoor Art Fair?
Thanks!

Just returned from the American Craft Council Show in Atlanta at the Cobb Galleria Center. The set up was available for two days and I loaded in and set up on Wednesday and it was the easiest load-in I have experienced in a long time. The Center provides large rolling dollies and it was possible to load in pro-panels, lights and all my work in two loads...that's a nice day for me. I think many were able to take advantage, as there must have been at least ten dollies available. The ACC people running the event were very accommodating and helpful, plus it's a nice plus to have bags for customers provided. The Preview Party is an event that has most of the artist's at the show doing a collective groan. Seems that most viewers were there for the food and drinks but we all have seen that before. This year the ACC joined with the Atlanta Flower Show for a two for one price entry fee which really benefited all the artists' involved in the show. I heard that there were more viewer's on Friday then there were for the whole event last year and it certainly seemed like it. Saw a lot of bags and big items going out the door. It was a long day as the show started at 9a.m. for wholesale and went until 8p.m. Saturday was another really busy day but I think that there were so many fiber and jewelery people, that it seemed that it might have thinned out their customer base. The people of Atlanta are loyal to the artist's they have purchased from before and even though I was not at the show last year, people that had seen me at the 2011 Show remembered and purchased from me, which was really a surprise for me. I talked to other artist's that said that was the way it worked in Atlanta.(sweet!). Sunday the show started later and since it was St. Patrick's Day and the first really warm day in quite a while in Atlanta, the crowds were pretty light all day and I personally had a pretty dead day. It was slow getting out of the Galleria. Load-out was a free for all and not very well planned as there was only two load-out gates and everyone was trying to get out at the same time. It took me two and a half hours and I was lucky. I do have to say that getting everyone in and out without any traffic jams or wrecks was handled by really nice people and there were many of us that were frazzled by that time. They were extremely pleasant. Overall the show was a pleasure to do, there is really something to southern hospitality and no one can deny that most of all, ACC is a class act.

Cheyenne,
I would join www.ArtFairInsiders.com where you can get good advice from thousands of artists. Then after you attend a show, we would appreciate if you stop back here and write an Art Show Review! Best Wishes.

Hello - I wasn't sure where to post this but I have a last minute opportunity to get into a small show here in Scottsdale, AZ. I am new to Art Shows so any review that anyone can give me would be SO helpful as my funds for booth spaces is so limited until I get a few good shows under my belt. The show is ArtFest on 5th Ave in Old Town Scottsdale to be held Oct 19 - 21st - thank you!!!!

Has anyone done the Palm Harbor Art Show first weekend of December in Palm Harbor, Florida in the last couple of years. I did it 10-12 years ago, before it was moved to the school. Is it back downtown and is it better attended?

Dear Art Show Review,
I am looking to put a question in regarding the Autumn Craft Festival at the Lincoln Center in NY in October. (http://www.craftsatlincoln.org/) I would love to start some discussion about the show and see whether people recommend it or not as I am still on the fence as to whether I'm going. I am having a hard time navigating your site to see where I start the discussion.
Advice on all would be appreciated.
Becky

I'm sooo glad i found the site (love Google). Im some one who hates to gamble and picking a show always feels like a gamble to me, with so many to pick from it can be a little overwhelming. Thank you for all the info!

Very, very comprehensive yet easily scanned from the moment it opens. I like that! It will be so useful and give just that much more to be glad for! Thank you...Kathleen
