I have done " Art in the Pass " for several years its close to home and I have one several awards over the years. It's an easy show to do. You will have to carry your booth in bring a cart. The last 2 years the weather has played havoc with the show. Lots of great people. My sales have been average but it was close to home ( 1 hour drive) .
Pass Christian is a small town but it is a town with a lot of money and old large houses. It is right on the Gulf and has plenty of beaches. I've been to pass Christian numerous times but never have done Art in the Pass since it was on weekends that i had other shows. The booth fee is reasonable ( I think around $150)... It is close to big towns such as Biloxi that has a bunch of gambling casinos and traffic.
This is in Pass Christian, right? That town is one that I've read about for years (it's mentioned in James Lee Burke's books, and other southern-themed novels) - and so on a painting trip a couple years ago, I went to check it out. It's about four blocks long, and the day that I was there, quite deserted. Has a beautiful beach front, but unless I missed the entire town (and this is always a possibility with me), I can't imagine an art show being successful there! Then again, I had the same thought about Crozet, VA, and had a pretty good show there last spring. So, this isn't info from experience! Just observation, passing through...

I just looked at this on Zapp. Application deadline has passed.
This one is close enough to me that we have considered it but it has not worked out yet for us to apply.
