Can you spare 7 minutes of your life to help the art fair community?  Let me convince you.

Below you will find some very interesting facts about www.Artshowreviews.com?   I have spent some time evaluating the information from the website from 2018 that I would like to share with you.   Take a look.  I think you will find some very interesting facts.   Please consider giving back to the Art Fair Community with a review or two ( about 7 minutes per review).

 

Fact #1:  We now have 643 Art and Craft Shows listed on our site.  We have shows throughout the entire country.  

Fact #2:  We have 7 states that do not have any art and craft shows listed at all.  The states of Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia have never had a show review submitted for them, thus those states have not been added.  We sure would appreciate having some reviews for those states.  

Fact #3:  The state with the largest amount of shows listed on our website is Florida.  That probably isn't a big surprise.  We have 84 shows listed on our site in Florida.  Coming in send place is Illinois with 49 shows.

Fact #4:  We have 25 states with 10 or less art and craft shows listed. 

Fact #5:  We have three states with only one art or craft show listed for them.  Those states are Arkansas, Rhode Island, and South Dakota.  Anybody have a show they can submit for these states? 

Fact #6:  We have one show listed for Canada.  We know they have shows up there.  Does anyone have a show and a review that they could add to that page to make it more valuable?

Fact #7:  We actually have a European page with one show listed.  Has anyone done an European shows yet?  We would love to add a couple shows to that page.

Fact #8:  Since our website went live we have had 1,155,274 page views.  That is amazing!  We know artists are using our website.  We need new reviews so that our site remains useful and needed.

Fact #9:  In the last 30 days, 12/12/18 - 1/12/19, we have had 11,964 page views.  Of course, this is a time when many artists are using our site to put the finishing touches on their show schedules. 

Fact #10:  We usually average about 381 page views per day.  In fact, we had had 111 page views by 11am today.  Artists were up early and working today. 

Fact #11:  Ninety two reviews or comments were left on ASR during 2018.  Of course, many people use our website without ever leaving a comment or writing a review.  Of the 92 comments left, 58 of those were actual show reviews using our list of questions to answer for the shows.  Those 58 reviews are more useful to artists.

Fact #12:  In the last year we had 143,568 page views.  Of those over 143 thousand visitors only 58 times did artists leave a review.  Certainly we can give back to the art community better than that.  

Fact #13:  The average show review probably takes about 7 minutes to write.  The form is right there on our website and you just fill it in.  Easy peasy!

Fact #14:  To submit a show review click on this link: 
     https://www.artshowreviews.com/review-an-art-fair.html

Fact #:  To submit a show that is not on our website click this link:  
https://www.artshowreviews.com/art-show-listing-submission.html

One person who visited our website left this comment:

How come so many of the posted show reviews are from 2-5 years old? Can't you supply some more updated review information from artists that have done the shows. After all, many shows go through changes from year to year.

My answer back to this person was sure, we would love to add more current and up to date reviews for each show.  However, if the artists don't submit the reviews I can't add them.  Our website will be as useful to artists if everyone does their part.  It is only 7 minutes!

Copy KATS. Artist beware!

Hey Everyone.

Wanted to share a little situation that has happen to me and boy it has just blown the wind out of my blond hair doo. Skip can validate via the show in Myrtle Beach.

My crabs are being copied and repainted in a classroom for profit studio!

I found a web site that has done a fantastic job of clipping YOUR artwork. They teach it in classes and they are located in Mt. Pleasant SC. The take on the studio is that you pay them $30-$40 dollars and you get a canvas, frame and a bottle of brewski or wine for a couple of hours. Great concept a buzz and a painting.

When I went through a search saw one of my crab paintings that I had not painted. I searched it to a studio not far from me in the Charleston area. These rats are using so many paintings from online artist to teach in classes. My crab painting had been painted over 150 times. After I contacted them last night they quickly fixed the web site. But hey Mrs. blonde HTML is snazzy. I have contacted over 7 artist to let them know about these money mongers and saved the web page on my hard drive. I Also purchased the other part of their domain name, which when done will go to the top of the search for their term. Blond, a computer geek and a painter. Look out baby this could get a little scary. I have been slinging paint and snot all morning, brewing a good batch of steaming mean girl face stew. My husband said I need to go and dig a hole in the field.

What do I do?

The owner of the original red crab painting that I painted and wanted to know if I was a "Student" Painter! This has sent me to a place. Imagine all my hair standing on end only fried, with my meany girl face. This is really a bad deal here. Watch out for your images you never know where they will turn up.

They place is called Bottles n Brushes. Do the search to see if your work is not being copied in the "Gallery" area were the students hold up the finished work they have just painted. The happy owner collects around $400-$500 every night and smiles all the way to the bank.

Happy hair day! (Ok I did let go of the mean girl face, but the hair is still on end!)
Heather

(Hope this wasn't to negative just wanted to warn the artist.)
