Has anyone done the Mount Clemens Art Fair hosted by the Anton Art Center in the last couple of years? If so, can you tell me about your experience? Did you have a good show or were people just looking…I didn’t get into a show I was looking to do the same weekend. I would like some opinions before I make my final decision if I want to apply.

Nicely run by the Anton Art Center. I did it a couple of years ago. Booth fee was inexpensive, I won an award, and I didn't go back.People were nice, the weather cooperated, and the downtown had a few businesses still operating.
Mt. Clemens is one of those communities hardest hit by the recession nationally and here in the Detroit Metro. That said, there were many good artists there, and some klinkers. Most people were kicking the tires. My total for the weekend, including the prize money, was about $500. Didn't sell anything over $100. Granted, this was in 2009, the first year for the show. Now that it's been established for a few years, it may have gathered a following.
Thanks for the feedback! It is now just the two days, no Friday night.
