Good Things about this Art Fair: Lovely show. Quality of the artists there was fantastic. Staff putting the show on could not have been nicer & they were very efficient. Indoor venue in summer. There were people buying.

Bad Things about this Art Fair: There just was not a large enough crowd to support all those artists. But: I will say that the year before there had been a large fire in the area that wiped out hundreds of vacation homes. Was rumored as a reason for a lower attendance.

Advice to Other Artists Considering this Show: I had some sales at this show and would consider going back and trying it again. You are playing to a tourist crowd here. The scenery is gorgeous. I stayed at the hotel next to the convention center because that was 'easy' for me and I was by myself there but there are other places to stay not as expensive.
