Just returned from Birmingham Art Feastival. Have been doing the show for approximately 25 years. This was the best year we have had in all those years. Both days were great sales. Many of the artists I spoke with also had a great show. We had our best day ever at the show on Saturday and Sunday was also great. May have been due to the weather. Who knows. It's rare top get two good days of weather at that show. We did better on Saturday than we did at 11 of our shows last year and total sales were better than any of last years shows. Birmingham folks are well educated in the arts and are willing to spend money on good quality work. Hopefully this is an indication that things are on the rebound for 2010.

The Guild does know its business. This is great to hear they did such a great job in this very nice location. It bodes well for September.
