My husband (the artist) and I have never exhibited at this show; however, we did attend the show just to see what it was like. Our neighbor does exhibit (baskets) and apparently does well enough to return every year. While there we stopped to talk to our neighbor but found there were several customers also wanting to speak to her so we excused ourselves. The artists are exceptionally gifted and it seems the buyers know this and are in a position to pay for such talent. We did speak to the organizers who were friendly and encouraged us to apply; however, thus far we have not – but have not ruled it out either. If you find yourself exhibiting there, we’d enjoy hearing about your experience.
Evidently they are very exacting in who they will allow into the event, as there are only twenty top grade exhibitors.
From the website:
"...One of New Jersey’s most anticipated spring rituals, Morven in May welcomes a select group of twenty professional artists and artisans from throughout the northeast region of the U.S. Art mediums include glass, ceramics, decorative and wearable fiber, mixed media, jewelry, furniture and fine art. Along with an array of beautifully crafted art objects displayed in gallery-style booths, under a grand tent on the museum’s Great Lawn, Morven will offer for sale a distinct collection of heirloom perennials and unique annuals..."

yes i read the description, just wondering if anyone had done the show-
Evidently not, as only 20 exhibitors are allowed. And I'd be surprised if there wasn't a waitlist.
