As an art fair visitor, Excelsior has long been my favorite local (Minneapolis area) art fair. The area is affluent, and the venue is beautiful--right on the shore of Lake Minnetonka. Some patrons even come by boat. Since Brian paints iconic Lake Minnetonka scenes and wooden boats, it's no surprise that he does well in Excelsior. Although rain was predicted this year, the weather was cool (highs in the 60s), which is perfect art fair weather. The art varied in quality, but there a solid number of top Minnesota artists present. The not-artist/sponsors booths were separated from the art. Set-up and take down can be challenging, as driving in the park is prohibited. Brian was able to park as close as possible to his booth (about a block away) and cart everything without incident. All in all, logistics went well and sales were above average.
