ArtFairCalendar.com (the mother of this site) and ArtFairInsiders.com made the Chicago Tribune last week! I was interviewed by writer Leslie Mann about the future of fairs, resulting in a bunch of new subscribers to my newsletters. Thanks, Leslie.
Interestingly I knew almost everyone else she interviewed for the article:
--Zaki Knapen, artist, a member of this site and frequent contributor
--Amy Amdur, art fair producer, a member of the site and someone I've known for a long time as well as one of our advertisers
--Sara Corkery, a member of this site and the editor of the NAIA's newspaper, The Independent Artist
Leslie does a good job of assessing the impact of of the fairs and what artists are doing to overcome the economy. Read it here: www.ChicagoTribune.com
Congrats on the publicity. I have been to 4 art festivals in the Chicagoland area and the quality has been very good and the prices for the most part have seemed reasonable. Most artists are trying to offer pieces at at a variety of price points so there is something for everyone. I am decorating a completely empty home so I am looking for a lot of different types of art and I am finding it.
