Asheville and Andie!

Posted by patti stern on August 10, 2010 at 8:30pm

So we decided to apply to "Art in the Village" in Asheville, NC, because Andie Macdowell-actress and model...Loreal anyone????? Ground Hog Day anyone???(she's the beautiful, thin one!) said we would do well there- she bought a piece from us last summer in New York and thought Asheville would love us...and they did...and we love her! Show is held in Biltmore Village- Director John Kram knows how to pull the people in...never have seen a show so crowded at 9am...set up, a bit insane...no setup before 6:30 a.m.- ugh!!! people are there by 9a.m- it all works out, somehow. Saturday was packed to the gills- Sunday doesn't get started until the church bell rings- no selling allowed before. Alot of out- of- towners in town - as this is a destination city. We sold three large pieces and a few smaller ones. As for Andie, her house is on the market, has not sold yet- and she just e-mailed me this morning that she wants a large piece once she gets settled in her new home...wherever that may be ! We'll wait...and can't wait to be back in Asheville next summer!

    Hi Emily and Rona~ from what I hear- John's partner runs the Bellagio- John runs the New Morning Gallery...I don't know how long the show has been going on-we have never done it before...

    Patti, thanks for the great review! I agree with Judy. Very exciting. John Kram . . . He's the one who owns Bellagio in the Biltmore. We used to sell our work there (back in the day). How long has this show been running?

    Thanks Connie ~ I am glad that I could write a "happy" fun report..It's great when you can earn money while you are having fun- although, this is not always the case.......

    Great photo! I've done this show, but will never do it again unless they change the setup time. There is NO way I can setup in 2.5 hours. Closer to 4 hours. I saw my sales slipping away as I was setting up. Glad it worked out for you though and that you had a good show.

    Thanks, Judy- nobody looks good next to Andie!
