I just did a quaint high quality show that is growing.Rockford is very nice small show. The show is in a beautiful setting on the river.It's located just north of Grand Rapids, MIchigan.l've done it for years. This year sales were great & I received Best of Show. The newspaper did a story on the show & the town of Rockford even did a TV commercial of the show. Great PR.I am a painter and sales were good. The art commitity had a lovely assortment of breakfast treats & fruit. Weather was really awesome.This week I set up at Artprize in Grand Rapids, Michigan. An International creative art event that lasts for over two weeks with thousands of attendees & participating artists. Very cool. Lots of prizes, a fun run, lectures and much, much more!Please come see all the art & vote for me, I have a colorful impressionistic mural. I'm located on Commerse St at Berhlaham Lutherine Church.Hope you all have a great season.Thanks,Noel Skiba

The first weekend after labor day weekend and it's a 1 day show, however they do let you put up your tent on Friday. There is another nice show in Fallsburg Park in Lowell, MI also near a river that is all about fall. it has a tougher jury system and lots of fun events that kids & family's do. Like Rockford Art in the Park, there is live music. At Fallsburg, there is lots of food. At Rockford it is set in a winderful park next to a quaint business district.
This year Rockford won best Farmers market in the country which is just south across the street from the art show. The food, flowers & produce are fantastic brining in many people.
Fallsburg is similar.with skilled Crafters, beautiful art & a wonderful fall experience. Art on the Riverfront in Grand Haven Michigan is also a lovely little one day show on the river that connects with Lake Michigan. Very well attended around the middle/end of august. This year it had a downpour & I still had good sales. However I wish it hadn't rained, they sure would have been much better. If you are looking for Michigan shows I have done many. Alpena Michigan has a Brown Trout Destival in July & the art /craft show is fantastic. Food, music, nice night before set up & it's a 2 day show. It's called Art on the Bay. I love it but then I'm from Alpena. My sales have only increased there. So going home is always fun. Alpena is on Beautiful Thunderbay on Lake Huran. Sort of a secret in Michigan. The art show is part of a Brown trout fishing contest which is huge & very well attended. Charlevoix is another awesome town in
Uchigan with several great shows throughout the summer. Bay Harbor had a fantastic show this year. They changed their management and the show was wonderful, great sales constant flow of buyers. Wonderful setting on the harbor of the Bay near Petoskey Michigan. High End one day show. This show has been up & down but I think they finally got it right this year. The first weekend in August. Well I hope you have a great season. I have. I do a show every weekend except for a few and these are some I truely enjoy. Have fun & sell art. I always try to have a show in a lovely place with good things happening around me so it's enjoyable & hopefully I make & sell lots of art do to my inspired area.
Thank you for your interest, Noel Skiba... Please come to the Artprize event in Grand Rapids MI this week & see fantastic art over 1500 huge installations & please vote for me # 51241. blessings, Noel Skiba... Come watch me Paint!
I, also, would appreciate info on this show. A few of these smaller good shows are not on zapplication or cafe and I have found them by "accident".
Aand...could you explain how Artprize works, please. Really curious how the process plays out and how to actually get involved when you are miles away.
