I was hoping that a mountain tourist town would provide a good place for an art show. I usually don't do good on holiday weekends, and the Dillard At Fest proved to be e same. It was a nice setting, the artist were all spaced out with 8' on all 4 sides. Sunday was better than Saturday, until they were afraid of rain, and shut it down early at 3:30 PM
Both Mike,show has been around i think 25 years. Great area and people come to shop. My neigbors all did well, as with everything I guess it depends what you have, the more unique the better. Upscale show
Ive been doing the Marietta Art in the Park for 4 years Labor Day Weekend and done better each year. Awesome show, but it's definitetly art show and not craft show. Had $4000 by end of Sunday and made another 400 on Monday in the rain before they shut it down. Cheers to that!! Not sure whay ur product is, but Check it out for next year. Think deadline is in April...

That was my main question, how did other artist do this Labor day weekend?
Is it the area or the reputation of the show?
Wow, Thanks Jean, this is great feed back. I had heard that that was the best show in Marietta, I will check it out for next year.
I have done some shows in the past at Marietta, I feel that they have too many art shows.
