Ftichburg, WI: Agora Art Show

Posted by Colin Murray on August 23, 2010 at 10:37am
Fitchburg, WI (a suburb of Madison) has a nice show that is developing very well. It is called the Agora Art Fair. This was the second year for the event. It is currently a one day (Saturday) event. They spent a lot of marketing dollars to bring in traffic to the show. They had a steady stream of attendees all day long. It was my first year exhibiting at the show. Others who exhibited last year felt that traffic was up from the prior year. They increased the number of artists from 40 last year to over 70 this year. They reorganized the layout of the show to include artists on the street. This was a good move. I was on the street. Set up was made very easy. Although they do need a little traffic control, during setting up and tearing down.

Although my sales were not huge, there were many people interested in our art. Since we have 2 more shows in Madison, I saw this as an opportunity to develop sales for the next 2 shows in Madison.

The organizers did a very good job of helping artists. Breakfast was provided in the morning. The delivered lunch to your booth. Their was an air condition artists lounge and nice bathrooms available during the entire show. This is a welcome relief during the hot part of the day.

I was impressed with the show and will return in future years.

    Sorry, I forgot to put that in the write up, yes it was August 21. No the weather was mostly cloudy and in the low 80's. There was humidity, but it was not bad.

    Do you think the hot weather affected your sales?
