Collingswood Crafts and Fine Art Festival Reviews'

I agree with the above comments. I had great Saturday sales. Unfortunately, there was torrential rain all around on Sunday, but not at the show. This probably kept most people home. Set up is a breeze at this show. You have to be there before 7 unload on the sidewalk and park. At 7:15 all cars are off the street and you can set up. There's plenty of room on the street for all vehicles. It is absolutely the best way to do a street show. I wish breakdown would work like that only in reverse. Then you wouldn't get those people who drive there huge vehicles with their huge trailers drive in before they breakdown and block anyone else from getting to their spot.

The promoters are among the best. I will keep doing the show.

Good Things about this Art Fair:
This show is very well organized, well advertised, and the promoters really go out of their way to make sure the exhibitors are supported. There is a good mix of artists and I thought that care was taken to locate different kinds of artists next to each other. My sales were good last year and better this year, which always pleases me.

Bad Things about this Art Fair:
Bad weather on Sunday (today) held attendance down. This is a smaller show than last year in terms of exhibitors, which puzzles me a bit since this is a really well run show right in the middle of a great small town. Some exhibitors who came from far-away states last year didn't make it back in 2011. High gas prices? The economy? I'm not sure.

Advice to Other Artists Considering this Show:
I would encourage high quality artisans to apply for 2012 because I want to see the Collingswood show maintain and even improve its high standard of quality. I plan to return and want to be in the company of the highest quality exhibitors possible.
