We are thinking of doing the Kensington Metropark Artfair in Milford, MI.
We've not done any shows with the Integrity Shows folks and was hoping to get some info from some artists who have. We make elegant traditional functional pottery and are successful at many shows, but we're driving from Atlanta. How well attended are their shows? How well advertised and promoted are they? We're looking to hook up 2 back to back shows in MI in May: East Lansing MI show is May 16-17th (lots of people attend) and this Milford show is May 23-25. Thank you anyone with information.

No surprise you were impressed by Mark. And he deserves your testimonial. He is interested not only in doing well for himself but he pays attention to the artists needs. So what’s your decision? Going to spend some time in the metro area of Detroit?
I'm hoping we get into East Lansing Art Festival the week before Kensington Metropark in Milford or Summerfair Cincinnatti the week after the Milford Show so we can leave the Atlanta area and have two shows back to back. That's my only factor waiting to hear from the shows.
The integrity shows are run by Mark Loeb he has been producing shows in metro area for probably 20 years. The show is in a lovely location in the well to do area. I have not attended but I would like to make so is Mark is very savvy and he would not have continued to host the show if it wasn’t working for people. I’d say great location and why not spend another week in Michigan in May ?
Thank you Connie. I've spoken to Mark on the phone and he's one of those smart, honest, warm promoters that I and others can trust. I told him our needs and he was honest about where he thinks we'd do well and what show might not be for us. I'd encourage any artist interested in his shows to look into them.
