For those of you not familiar with Venice it is a throwback to good old days. There are no big box stores, no chain restaurants (except Kilwins but hey), the downtown area is comprised of mom and pop run shoppes and restaurants with sidewalk seating to appreciate the beautiful weather. There is a very heavy snowbird population that winter in Venice and they're always looking for something to do. Howard Alan has two fine art shows here every year in November and March and as you can see the people come out in droves, many looking to buy. My medium is jewelry (metalsmith) with price points from $20 to $600 with equal selling of all. All but one artists I spoke with were very pleased with their sales. Logistically the setup and breakdown could not be easier, all booths are setup singlefile back to back on asphalt, with a 20 foot grass medium behind the booths so plenty of room for storage. You can unload and load at your space, NO DOLLYING.
If you're looking for a well run, profitable show give this one a try.
