What are the best things about art fairs

feedback from visitors to the show, making a really big sale


Best show ever and why

Stone Arch Festival of the Arts 2007 -- took first place in glass and the prize was significant, had good sale; also Geneva Fine Arts Fair because we reconnected with so many old friends and had good sales and major commissions


Worst show ever and why

Gold Coast Art Show the first year Amdur took over and moved it to Grant Park -- far too many artists plus a lot of crafters and vendors, ill-designed layout with inadequate signage, no contingency plans for the major rainfall that flooded tents, and no warning that the show would be so much less than it had been in the past
