Hello. My name is Frank Hartlieb. I have recently signed on to AFI and think the site is great. I am involved mostly in ceramics, raku firing in particular, and also have done mixed media sculpture and installations. I have done art fairs in the past(many years ago) and am now planning on making art fairs a regular part of my artistic practice. Thanks for the welcome and I look forward to great discussions, sharing info etc.

Hello Frank and welcome. We are glad you have joined us. This website is a great place to get reacquainted with the info you will need when doing shows again. We all help each other out here. The more active you are here, the more you will get out of this site.
We hope to see you around here.
Hello Frank & WELCOME to this wonderful site! I'm glad you're back in the "Art World!" I love the many colors of Raku. I do kiln-fired Enamel as one of my many medias, but Raku has such a warm glow to it-love it! You will find this site like an "Artists' Bible" as it is a wealth of information & lots of great artists! Enjoy & hope to see you down the road!
Hello Frank,
Welcome! We're delighted to have you join us here and hope you'll enjoy meeting some of the other artists and picking up some tips here and there as well. It's a wonderful place for networking and reading show reviews...enjoy!
Hi Frank, glad to have you join us. You are not alone in coming back to the business. Search for Peter Grimord's recent posts on his experiences reentering the shows. I have a feeling you'll understand what he is talking about.
Here is another good discussion from someone who is thinking real hard about what is next, plus good answers from the others: http://www.artfairinsiders.com/profiles/blogs/to-return-to-art-fair...
I look forward to your participation here. We'd love to hear about your journey. Where do you live? any art fairs on the near horizon?
Connie, while looking through the site I saw your reply re: Royal Oak Art Fair. You indicated that you lived just 3 miles away. I used to live in Royal Oak, worked @occ there and participated in that fair several times. small world.
Hi Connie I live in Pocatello ID (southeast) surrounded by beauriful mountains. I am submitting to several shows for this summer. Logan UT, Sun Valley ID, Jackson Hole WY and will be doing the fall art fair here. So I am waiting to hear in the next month were I might be going. Putting together a portfolio and submitting are time consuming. I had almost forgotten.
Welcome, Frank! I think you'll love it here.
