Promenade of Art in Arlington Heights IL

It had been a while since I had done a show with Amy Amdur.

We all complain about how high Amy Amdur booth fee are. We do not give her enough credit for trying give us a chance to make so money for us. We forget that she also trying to make a living. The cost for the shows are very high and politics are more difficult now. She is very organize and trying to figure what is the best way to advertising for the events. Yes she does do advertising so can get some buyers. If you done an promotions in the past we depend on mailing  & e list. We all know that people do not want to give address or much less the email. In the past years I had done everything to cut cost and want to try some of her shows. Port Clinton is her best show but photography does not do as well in that show.

The set up is very easy. It start at 6 pm and last until 10pm. That time is assign by the city not by her. The show run 10 to 5 both days. The break is her normal or my standard, break down and then get your car. There was about 150 artist which there was about 30 photographers. That make my life a bit difficult but it was good to see all of us there. The crowd on Saturday was a buying crowd. Sunday was mostly lookers. I was expecting a super Sunday since Saturday was a good day. It seems the case for a lot of fellow artist. Very few sales but quality sales. The best part of this show was no beer sales.

I do not know if I will do the show next year since it all end good because of the good sales on Saturday.
