St. Armands, FL fine art festival

Posted by lori kay on November 15, 2010 at 9:17am

This Howard Alan fine art show has been in past years held in early October which is still very warm in Florida and the attendance definately suffered for that reason.This year the show was moved to the second week in November, WOW what a difference a month makes. The crowds were out in force ready to enjoy the beautiful weather and buy some art. The show had a good balance of fine art and fine craft and not too heavy in any catagory (jewelers you know what I mean). The size of the show was reduced to eliminate dead zones and give everyone a larger slice of the pie. The show was run by Debbie, Howard and two new additions to the fine art field support staff Terry and Dan. I've done three shows with Terry and Dan and they're accesible and helpful without being intrusive, I think they will be a continuing good addition to the field staff. This show can be a VERY difficult set-up and breakdown but it was tightly managed by the staff, they escorted us to our spaces and got us either on top of or very close to our spaces.
I spoke with several artists in many different mediums and with the exception of one all said they would do the show again rating it on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being best, a solid 8. I'm a jeweler and my sales exceeded ten times booth fee (insert happy dance here).

    Very nice to hear. . . I participated in the Oct. 2009 show, in record heat/humidity, topped by monsoon rains at breakdown. . .I'm glad it was well received and that everyone seemed to have a solid show!
