Houston - Don't you just love to hear some good news? Our congratulations to the organizers of the Bayou City Art
Festival for the success of their October event, hard on the heels of Hurricane Ike. Who would have thought? From the Houston Press: "The folks over at the
2008 Bayou City Art Festival Downtown have finished counting up their earnings and figuring out who gets what, so tonight they're handing out checks to the non-profits organizations they support.
A whopping $106,303 is going out to sixteen organizations, ranging from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston to the Spay-Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP), Lawndale Art Center to Houston Parks and Recreation." Read the story at their website:
http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2008/12/bayou_city_art_festival_making.php Then think about heading to Houston to take part in a festival that is making record profits in the dismal fall of 2008.

"Some artists have begun to figure out ways to make money and make art — aiming to end the notion that “starving” and “artist” are necessarily linked," says writer Marci Alboher.
"Rather than seeing art as something to pursue in the hours when they are not earning a living, these artists are developing businesses around their talents. These artists are part of a growing movement that has caught the attention of business experts and is being nudged along by both art and business schools.
Living in the Internet era has certainly helped."
This is a good article that explores artists being business people. This is not news to art fair artists who definitely have to spend a lot of time thinking about the business aspects.

When a large corporation like Hewlett-Packard jumps on the handmade bandwagon you know that as an artist/craftsperson that you are definitely on the leading edge (no, not bleeding) of a cultural trend. A recent newsletter from them states, "The Best Gifts Are Hand-Made." Of course it goes on to discuss how one can use the HP products to make these hand made gifts, but any smarty knows that Play Station games and plasma TV's aside, recipients treasure the one of a kind.
I hope the days ahead find you deep in a creative heaven and your bag of goods emptied by the appreciators of your fine work.

When I read this column from the Brazen Careerist, Penelope Trunk, Reason to give thanks: There is no job shortage for young people recently I was pretty stunned. Perhaps that is because I'm not one of the young people, nor unhappily, spend much time with this age group.
Its conclusions are very interesting:
1. Jobs for low-level candidates are increasing
2. There are plenty of entry-level jobs to be had, the unemployment rate for college grads has been at 0% for the past seven years
3. College grads are doing fine in today's market. "Skilled professionals remain in demand despite the economic downturn. While the unemployment rate rose to 6.5 percent in October, the unemployment rate for professionals with college degrees remains manageable at 3.1 percent."
Read the rest of this story and then think about how that positions you and your art work in today's marketplace. Some very interesting statistics are to be found here.

In October the University Cultural Center Association in downtown Detroit announced announced that it will not produce the
Detroit Festival of the Arts in 2009 due to the construction of the Midtown Loop Greenway. The Midtown Loop is part of a two mile green-way trail following existing street patterns linking Wayne State University and the Detroit Medical Center and incorporating a variety of planting beds to separate pedestrians from vehicle traffic; help the community reclaim much needed green space; reintroduce native vegetation; incorporate public art along the greenway; and create an environment to help build a strong sense of place and community. The Loop will extend through a significant portion of the festival site. Any inquiries can be addressed to UCCA President, Sue Mosey at
susanmosey@gmail.com. It is said the festival will return in 2010, but who knows? In 2007 the Greektown Arts Festival was also cancelled because of construction in the downtown. In its 20+ year history this festival has brought outstanding street performers to the city, headlined wonderful urban musical groups, held Shakespeare on the lawn of the Detroit Institute of Art and held author readings at the Detroit Public Library. A true cultural gem, I hope it will return when times are better. RIP, Detroit Festival of the Arts. Here is a link for more info:

Okay, I think it's time I ran a contest to see what is the #1 art fair in the country. I recently received this notice: "Artrageous ranked No. 1 festival by AmericanStyle magazine."
What is Artrageous? Where is it held? Why haven't I heard of it? Who is American Style profiling? What does this mean about the ratings systems? Do you care?
Congratulations to Artrageous, obviously many people care about your event and you must be doing some very good things.

This post was so interesting to me and such a good example of the indefatigable spirit prevalent among art fair artists that I needed to repost it here so everyone could be inspired. Here is Barbara Sistak Baur's post of her first year at art fairs. "I purchased my very first display panels last spring from Connie. She is so gracious and she
asked me to “report in” on my first year in the art fair business. So, here it goes – “The Unforgettable Life-Lessons I Learned During My First Art Fair Season”. Ahem – 1. How when I saw the truck fully loaded with panels, chairs, the tent, tubs of equipment and a few paintings thrown in on top of it all, is when I truly grasped the concept of “overhead.” 2. How you shouldn’t make the 500-artist show your first show. By yourself. Far away from
home. ( I didn’t mean to, but I was “blown out” of my first, first show.) 3. What is feels like to be trapped under a blown-over tent and debris during a micro-burst. (Or, when someone tells you to take the artwork off the walls because a storm is coming, leave immediately.) 4. How easy is it to get a “free” charge card merchant account (and then find out how much it really costs you). 5. How heavy those weights really are. (And, I still don’t have enough of them.) 6. That 6 feet 7 inches is truly out of reach. (Even on my toes, no matter how hard I stretch.) 7. How little sleep you can get and still put up a display and talk to customers. (Note to self: don’t try that again.) 8. What a hard, 16-hour day really feels like. (It ain’t like the office!) 9. How April, May, June and ½ of July were a nightmare. (But how during the second half of July, August and Sept, I felt like a pro.) 10. The shock I felt when other artists started asking ME for advice (They must have mistaken my “finally, I know how to put this thing up in less than 3 hours” look for “seasoned.”) 11. How gratified I felt when the local museum purchased a painting. (It was the only sale that day but what a good one!)
12. How my fear of talking to people who came into my booth morphed into a steady sales prattle. (I don’t know how many customers I scared away!) 13. How (inwardly) irked I am when people comment to me, “how relaxing you must find painting.” (Yeah, right.) 14. How it feels to be not “just” an artist, but, rather, an art business entrepreneur. 15. Most unforgettable are the people that helped along the way. A very special thank you to Kathy Eaton, who been an inspiration to me and a tremendous friend and wealth of knowledge. She has gone so far out of her way to point me in the right direction, subtly let me know when I am being an idiot and has given me great advice and insights. And, of course, my husband, who -- I can’t believe it -- actually fixes mangled display panels, builds shelves for the art truck and encourages me to keep going. I hope to see and meet many of you next summer! " Barbara Sistak Baur, guest blogger

I really thought I knew about all the Florida shows worth mentioning but this event,
CraftArt 2008, in downtown St. Petersburg, held on November 22 and 23, was brought to my attention by a comment
Matthew Hatala made on the topic "
Did Anybody Make Any Money This Weekend?"
Collette Fortin of Neptune Hot Glass making the sale I visited the event's website:
http: //www.floridacraftsmen.net/main.html and found a classy website and some really nice events. Then I looked at their exhibitor list and saw lots of people I know. This looks like a very cool event. Can anyone tell me more about it? They give out $16,000 in awards and the very good news is that glassblowers
Berry Davis and
Collette Fortin of Celina, OH, won the Best of Show prize of $5000! Congratulations, Berry and Collette. If you aren't two of the hardest working people in this business, I don't know who is. They don't have a website but I did find a place where you can purchase some of their paperweights:

16th annual American Craft Show comes to Sarasota
" It’s the perfect time of year for the 16th annual American Craft Show, which will bring some of the best artistry in the nation to Sarasota this weekend — from one-of-a-kind toys and home accessories to colorful clothes and distinctive jewelry. The three-day event is a holiday shopper’s paradise.
What makes this juried show even more appealing is that it only visits six cities in the United States each year, with Sarasota being the last stop on the circuit, " says writer January Holmes at the Bradenton (FL) Herald.

Interesting news about this popular event has recently emerged:
"Each year for three days in September -- Labor Day weekend -- the busiest place in Coweta County is the Powers Crossroads grounds off Highway 34 West near the Heard County line.
Those three days the Powers' Crossroads Country Fair and Art Festival takes place on the nearly 100-acre site owned by five local organizations -- Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce, Newnan-Coweta Art Association, Coweta 4-H, Newnan-Coweta Jaycees and the Pilot Club of Newnan. For most of the other 362 days a year, the Powers' site is idle.
A new push by Coweta Festivals Inc., the non-profit organization which stages the festival in conjunction with the five local organizations, is aimed at decreasing the idle days at Powers. There are plans for community activities, tours, demonstrations as well as offering the Powers grounds for private individual and corporate functions. "

My thanks to Michael Solomon who forwarded me this thoughtful article from the Christian Science Monitor:
"It used to be that we made a lot of stuff: televisions, clothes, washing machines, radios, typewriters, shoes, telephones, and furniture. And we also used to make the stuff out of which stuff was made: steel, aluminum, plastic, rubber, glass, and electrical components. Today that's largely made overseas. They send us their stuff and we send them our money.
It also used to be that Americans liked to make stuff. Think of all the things Thomas Edison invented. Or consider Henry Ford, who made the car affordable, perfected the assembly line, and paid workers a decent wage. Countless others, such as my grandfather, worked as toolmakers and machinists because they liked to work with their hands. Today we rely on people around the world to do that innovation for us."
What's up with this? Aren't you making "stuff?" Yes, I know YOU are, but one of the reasons art fairs are so popular with the public is because they all have stopped doing things with their hands. How many times has someone stood in your booth and envied you your creativity and wished to be standing in your shoes? Lots.
How are you feeling about creativity? In what other country would you have this opportunity to stand in the streets on weekends and have people tell you how wonderful your work is?
"Today's schools must help teach our young people the value of manual labor and help us take advantage of the greatest place to be for innovation. A Japanese neighbor visiting a US factory told me once that he envied Americans because they did not accept cultural limitations in improving the way something is made. He said that you could never go against the grain like that in Japan."
Need some food for thought? (I know you had enough food over the last week) Read the rest of the article at the Christian Science Monitor.
