WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 14 - 5 PM ET
What can an art fair do to bring serious buyers to attend their events to buy art?
Our guests today are from two of the top rated shows in the country. Tne La Quinta Arts Festival is a large festival held in an affluent area in California. Art on the Square is in Belleville, Illinois, a small town near St. Louis with nearly the opposite demographics, yet both shows excel at bringing collectors to their events and their sales figures are "above average."
How do they do it?
The guests are:
- Christi Salamone, Executive Director, La Quinta Arts Festival, La Quinta, CA
- Kathleen Hughes, Events Manager, La Quinta Arts Festival
- Patty Gregory, Director, Art on the Square, Belleville, IL
Anyone who has ever run an art fair, or thought they wanted to run an art fair, will learn a lot from these experienced guests. Do you want lots of applications to your show? The most important thing an event can do is bring in those committed buyers.

This should be a "must listen" podcast for any art show directors. If you have questions you would like me to ask the guests please post them in the comments below, or call in! The second half of the show we will take live calls.

No you don't, Judy. In fact, you don't even need to call in if you are just going to listen. Just click on this link above.
Do I need a code when I call that number? I would love to listen to this.
