I want to tell you about a show promoter Terry Mcmullen who promoted a show in Amagansett Long Island. I have to say she did nothing other than collect the booth fees and leave. She promised a high end art show, live entertainment, advertisements and large crowds. None of it happened. In the middle of the show the artists started a revolt and it got ugly. I have never seen something like this before and I have been doing shows for over 15 years. The trash wasn't collected till 11am Sunday and between the birds and the wind the place looked like a dump. I can only hope that I never see her again.
Yo, Don't ASK ME ::: I AM ASKING FOR REVIEWS TO BE SHARED WITH ALL::: Review Paragon's shows//or how does 3 out of 5 shows become Top100 rated???? after only 2 years of existance // ANYONE OUT THERE???? oh ; now there are 11 shows this year and very few reviews of their major east coast promotions //WHY????? (btw, my experience w/paragon was fine, & felt they were very much committed to the artist, & not the $$$$$/ but that was 2 years ago, so I want IMPUT (e-t) //WHY also are there no ARTRIDER reviews as they too are a major promoter of events //that is run by Staci(AN ARTIST IN HER OWN RIGHT) & Jeff// and they do a damn good job of it also// TOM- takes a while to figure out what works for each of us// This site really helps us all young or old //WE HAVE TOO SHARE OUR VIEWS TO SURVIVE. We are unique, and need to help one another,especially since we all make a luxury item that nobody really needs in these economic times//enough// FAIR WINDS
Thanks for posting that article. Thats the show and it was pretty bad. I spent the night in my truck and I watched the wind and the seagulls have a party in the garbage. She has a way of twisting the truth to fit her story. No matter what you say she will say she did nothing wrong . Like beating a dead horse. So enough said about her still looking for good shows!
AND does anyone have anything to report on PARAGONS july 4th event in THE SAME PLACE/ maybe too many shows with ??? reputations doesn,t help/ BTW you nor I are "designer labels" and that is what is sold in those fancy stores //When we ventured into that part of the country/ most of our sales were from Floridians who could say that they bought it in the "HAmptons" we even sold a piece of glass to a person from our hometown//but the crowd was way sparse and we were very lucky,and had to work hard at each sale-- Fair Winds
I'm not from Long Island, nor do I plan to do any shows there. But since the original post didn't mention the show name or date I did a quick Google search and found this article of interest about the show.
I would love to find a decent show on Long Island. The in-laws are all there and it would be good to combine a visit with a show. But every one I think might be good, turns out to be like this.
