Good Things about this Art Fair:
The quality of the art is exceptional. It is a high end show.

The amenities are great. They hosted a lovely reception on Saturday night and free coffee and goodies Sunday morning.

Set up and tear down is tight, like most street art fairs. However, all the artist were cooperative.

I observed some big pieces leaving the show on Sunday. My sales were about 8X booth fee.

Bad Things about this Art Fair:
I absolutely do not understand why there were NON artist displaying at the show. 3 booths away from me was a home improvement booth and a Chicago Tribune booth. I know there were other "commercial" displayers.

From speaking to other artists who have been on the circuit for many years, this show can be difficult to get into. Why not sell the space to an artist?

Advice to Other Artists Considering this Show:
Naperville is a beautiful town that supports this show. Apply and cross your fingers in hopes of participating.
