Like all shows, there are good and bad experiences.

I will be doing the Banner Elk Show as well (both of them) and it's one of my top 5 shows. Even with a flooded booth on Saturday...we had record numbers. I think I have established a good repeat customer base...even in just three years but this…

Gordon Ekback commented on BOB STUART's group 'CAROLINA ARTISIANS'
Regarding the Banner Elk show..We have been there for three years and we are done. It is in a well established area and there is more looking than buying. A lot of craft stuff too. There is another "promoter" in the area and she does…

Tunde Afolayan said… - Hi Bob,
Sorry, I am just checking your erlier question about NC shows. I do not know much about shows here in NC. I am really new to road shows and in the process of learing. 'just moved to Raleigh 9 months ago to maintain a studio here. I heard there are some good shows in the Asheville area so I am investigating. What ever comes up, I will share.
Take care and welcome to NC. _Tunde

Michele LeVett said… - Hi Bob, I really don't know much about NC shows because my jewelry is too contemporary for most of them and I end up traveling. There are probably some good shows for you near asheville and you might want to try centerfest which os now on zapp. Welcome to NC, Michele

The Grizzly Woodsmith said… - Thanks for the invite Bob, but we are Connecticut Yankees. We did just do the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in Charleston, SC but won't be doing it again. It wasn't a match for us. But in general, the Carolinas seem to be much more art/craft friendly than is CT, but we have no plans to move soon. Course if this snow continues much longer, that could change. Good luck with your group!

Anyway, you were asking me about good nc art fairs to do and well, I don't know that is a question I have asked as well. The only one I know of around me is the Whalehead Club show in Corolla. Anyway, I will keep you posted about any that I find out about!
