Shows in Illinois

I'm beginning to try and put together a tentative schedule for 2011 and there are a couple of shows I'd like to know more about if anyone has any opinions.

I've been leaning a bit more toward the fine crafts side but still plan to try and do a few shows that are clearly advertised as Arts and Crafts Events. As you all know, some of these will tend to lean much more in the Fine Arts direction.

I've had pretty decent success in Illinois but here are a couple I've not very familiar with. One is Art on the Square in Belleville and the other is Art at the Glen in Glenview. Of course I've heard of them and they have been highly rated but, still, I'm not real sure what one should expect.

As we all know (especially the newer people), it's a risky proposition to trek half-way across the country to a show that you've only read about in a magazine. That can wreck havoc on one's cashflow!

Any info/insight on these would be greatly appreciated. As would any other suggestions anyone may have. It would really be nice if I could work one (or both) of them back-to-back with something else.

Thanks to all.

  • Don, there are reviews for both of these shows here. Speaking for the Glen show, it is a typical Amy Amdur show at the better end of her shows.
