Hello fellow artists, I got into the Pecan street art festival in Austin tx. I can not find much info about it. The booth fee is kinda high at $690ish for single booth. So iam hesitant to accept till I find out a bit more info. I can mot find any reviews. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've been applying to the CPFA show for the past 5 years to no avail, but I have just recently been accepted. I've heard wonderful things about this show, however I have heard being on the side street is not so advantageous. I've been placed on Fraser street. My work is very edgy and usually attracts a younger crowd and I seem to benefit from late hour shows that go into the evening. I do VERY WELL at the Deep Ellum Arts Fest, 4th Avenue Street Fair, Utah Arts Fest and shows in Denver & Chicago. I have average sales at Florida shows, mostly towards Miami area and I do average in Tampa area. I don't do so well in older/conservative/fine art crowds. I have lower priced originals for not-so rich young art buyers and I seem to do better in Fair-type party atmosphere shows than I do at Fine Art shows. Though my work doesn't seem to be classified as fine art, I have won Best of Show awards at the 2011 Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair, the 2011 South Miami Arts Festival, and 2011 Highland Fest. Anyway, I've also been accepted the Wyandotte Street Fair, which I've heard good/bad things. I'm torn between which show to do. My worry with the Penn State show is that I'll be on the side street and that my work won't be as appreciated as it will be in the center of the action at the Wyandotte Street Fair. I can only choose one as they fall on the same date. Can anyone please provide any insight on Fraser street of the Central Penn show? Other factors include, I live in Utah and the Michigan drive is obviously much closer than the Penn drive. The Wyandotte show goes until 11pm and the Penn goes til 8pm. Can anyone please provide any pros/cons of either show? Thank you so much for your help.
