I just did the first year of Mile High art and Jazz and was pleasantly surprised. I have not been doing well in Colorado (if you've read my other reviews you'll see) I didnt have high expectations for the show but it was by far my best Colorado show and all of the other artists seemed to be happy. I didnt talk to anyone who said it was a blowout show for them, but everyone seemed generally happy. So especially since it was a first year show I totally recommend it. It is in conjunction with Taste of colorado which is 10 blocks away, and I guess brings hundreds of thousands of people. The traffic at the show which is in Skyline park, a fenced in park (atleast during the show for security purposes i suppose) was steady all day both days and people seemed to be buying. I almost sold my biggest piece, and I'm a little upset with myself for not selling either of the two times I had serious interest, but although I didnt sell anything over $1000 individually, the two people who loved my big piece didnt flinch at the $5000 price tag. So I think there is money walking around for sure.
The promoter is named Liz Gore, her mom is Ruth gore who does Balloon fiesta in New mexico so although i think it was liz's first show, it seemed well planned, she has a good role model.
So anyways, I'd love to hear anyone else's feedback that did the show and see if its in alignment with mine and the other artists I spoke with's idea of the show

ohh okay. I didnt realize cheesman park was her. I thought it was her mom. Either way, I agree that she did a great job :)
Hi Megan, thanks for your review of this show...haven't done it but glad you did well and hope you'll hear from some others that may have had a similar (or not) experience.
