“The 2023 Coconut Grove Arts Festival was my first time doing the show - it was an incredible experience. Set up was easy, logistics were clear and the crowds were insane! Never have I seen that many people at an art festival. I had a profitable show and I hope to be a part of it again. Thanks to the show director, her staff & volunteers for doing such a great job.” - Tanya Kirouac

12167893089?profile=RESIZE_710x"The Coconut Grove Arts Festival is one of the all time great art fairs. I first displayed my work there almost 20 years ago and was there last year. It always attracts a massive educated and engaging crowd that is there to have fun but also to buy art. I always consider myself very lucky when I am accepted to exhibit my artwork at the show and there is nowhere I would rather be that weekend." - Xavier Nuez
 
“The Coconut Grove Arts Festival, is my favorite and most profitable Art show. Every year, my gross sales have increased over the last. The layout of the show gives everyone a good location. At the Artist oasis, lunches and water are provided to the artists. I look forward to coming down each February to participate in this wonderful show.”
- Christine Lush-Rodriguez

Howard Alan Events in FL - What's your feedback on them?

Posted by James A Veenstra on December 8, 2015 at 4:30pm

Does anyone have feedback, pro or con, on Howard Alan Shows? I'm trying to figure out what to expect and if I should look for alternatives. I create original copper overlay and etched art glass, and most of my work is in the $150 to $1000 range.

I'm looking to escape Michigan's winter for a month or so in Florida and have applied and been accepted into the 10th Annual Coconut Point (Bonita Springs) Feb 20,21; Stuart 26th Annual Downtown Festival of the Arts, Feb 27,28; and West Palm Beach 6th Annual CityPlace March 5,6. What are your thoughts on these or other Howard Alan shows? What FL shows do you recommend? Thanks!
