Booth space gone from bad to worse at St. James (I think)
Started this discussion. Last reply by Cathy Hillegas yesterday. 4 Replies 0 Likes
Have done St. James Court for the last 6 years. Did my time in the interior and then was moved to the grassy circle at the Magnolia end of the court. This looked (on paper) like a good spot but…Continue

Just wondering if anyone out there has any experience with this show and if it is worth doing? It would be local for us so low expenses but I am always a bit leery of shows that haven't been around…Continue

Did anyone get a 1099K from Square? Use both Intuit and Square for the shows. Got a 1099K from Intuit (the new form that reports your credit card processing income to the IRS) but did not get one…Continue

"I think it is a better space than you had before, Cathy. We had a space for years on St. James not far from there and maybe you won't get all the traffic, but honestly, do you need to see everyone? Not to take this lightly, everyone deserves…"

Booth space gone from bad to worse at St. James (I think)
Have done St. James Court for the last 6 years. Did my time in the interior and then was moved to the grassy circle at the Magnolia end of the court. This looked (on paper) like a good spot but my booth faced the entrance to the interior booths and was not on the main drag so we only got about 1/3 of the traffic. After asking every year to be moved if something better opened up, they have now moved me to the short row of booths right inside the Hill Street entrance. I am not happy as I…See More

"I did this show last year and while Saturday sales were a little soft, Sunday sales were triple of the day before and made the show worth driving from Tampa."
Deidre Nabors replied to Cathy Hillegas's discussion Anyone done Louisville Festival of the Arts at the Summit?
"I've done it for the last 3 years and have done quite well. Lots of advertising and plenty of shoppers. If you're from the area then you know the Summit is an upscale outdoor mall. The load in and out is fairly easy, all booths are along…"

Jim Parker replied to Cathy Hillegas's discussion New 1099K tax document and Square
"You don't need to deal with it this year. The IRS decided not to implement 1009K reporting until Tax Year 2012. Some merchant providers sent them, others did not. I got one from both my merchant account and from American Express."

Cathy Hillegas replied to Melanie Moore's discussion Cheapest phone to use with the Square
"Another option is the no contract phone from virgin mobile. I use square on this and it only costs $35 a month."

Armstrong panels on ebay
Just wanted to let folks know that there is a set of Armstrong panels (light gray) for sale on ebay. They are listed for $900 or "make an offer." Here is the listing:http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Armstrong-Gallery-3-x-66-Carpet-Display-Panels-Chrome-Display-Art-Photos-/130661003108?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6c00af64See More

Pro panel vs Armstrong color
Does anyone know if the light gray panels that Armstrong and Pro Panel make are the same or close enough to mix and match? I have a good set of Pro Panels and have the opportunity to buy an Armstrong desk for a good price. They are both the light gray. The seller is too far away to look at it first. Does anyone know if they will look all right together?See More

Anyone dealt with Art 101 Gallery in Medina, Ohio
I know this isn't art fair related but didn't know anywhere else to ask this many artists about this. Was contacted by this gallery today and they are interested in representing me. Googled their name and found a few complaints about the way they run their business. Just wondered if anyone out there has dealt with them and can give me some feedback about these folks. Thanks,Cathy HillegasSee More
Cathy Hillegas replied to Tim McLaughlin's discussion I will be doing my 1st Art show this month. How important is having a way to process credit cards? And what recommendations do you have, I have an I phone does that work with an app?
"I can't refund on my smart phone (LG Optimus V). I can bring up the list of payments but can't click on them. I can only do that on the computer once I get back home. I contacted Square and they also said that it cannot…"
