We did the show last year for the 1st time and it was one of our 2 best shows of the year....very well organized and very pleasant show. Not huge attendance but the people who attend, come to buy.

Hi Diane,

We just did this event. It was organized very well.

We are from Los Angeles. Our work is very contemporary. While we thought the quality of the vendors was pretty good, many were selling southwest themed work. Lots of artist from all over the country. The girl selling jewelry next to us sold well, but her price point was modest. The artist across from us was from Oregon and had beautiful contemporary paintings. She had a slow show. Another artist next to us nearly sold out of his Copper sculpture water fountains. We sold 6 pieces during the weekend which covered our costs but didn't really leave much left over. We had a great time and would give it a shot again. We were told that for the first time the Sedona jazz fest was on the same weekend and probably lured away some of the crowd. I thought it would be a bonus but didn't seem to work out that way. I might have second thoughts if it works out like that next year.

Like i said everyone involved was great to work with and the location is so beautiful, its hard not to want to go back.

  I find it inexplicable how many people post about traveling large distances and making little or no money talking about doing it all over again. Why in the world would you do that?

    I would guess a "first time didn't-do-too-well" show, you could chalk up as a fluke. Two years in a row though, and I would move on...
