The same thing happened last year with this show.  I was so hoping it would again, and it did!  I also really hope they have that fancy trailer potty again.  I saw signs on HWY 95 on Thursday advertisting for the show.   I…

I did EdenFest last week.The weather was absolutely beautiful and it was very well run.  The quality of the art was very good, with a lot of variety.  Not unexpectly, there were a lot of jewelers and a lot of painters.  But folks were…

Wow! Maybe Howard is getting as old as the rest of us. What a wonderful opportunity to get some sleep tonight. We always were groggy on those early morning setups on Saturday. Have a great show, Geoff!

FRIDAY SETUP for Hobe Sound

Just learned that if you're doing Hobe Sound this weekend, there's now an "unofficial" early setup anytime after 2:30 Friday.  (No security will be provided Fri. night, so this is at your own risk, per the Howard Alan website.Particulars can be found in the "Space Numbers" section for the show. See More

Search "Howard Alan" in the Search window (leaving off the quote marks) and you'll get plenty of input on his shows, in general.  Howard accepts late applications so it's worth a shot.  Note that (if I'm…

You always want to check to see when Easter falls.  It begins a mass exodus. :-)

Judy A. Wolfe commented on Geoff Coe's blog post 'Did anyone do St. Armands or Edenfest last weekend?'
I did St. Armands ... it was good but I didn't like my booth space at all. Could have done way better, there were plenty of shoppers.... perfect weather.
Thursday
Sheila Wissner commented on Geoff Coe's blog post 'Did anyone do St. Armands or Edenfest last weekend?'
They probably all did very, very, very well and don't want anyone else to know about it.

Geoff Coe replied to Ruth Finkenbiner's discussion 'Shows frequented by Snowbirds - Spring or Fall - which is better?'
Great question, Ruth! Someone else will have to speak for AZ.  But in FL, it's no contest: Jan.-Mar. is far busier than Oct.-Dec.  On top of that, rainy season in FL doesn't end until (most years) before Oct. 20.

Did anyone do St. Armands or Edenfest last weekend?

Wow, second week in a row with no unprompted show reviews (other than, of course, Nels).I've heard second-hand reports that the St. Armands show was well attended and sales were pretty good. I walked Edenfest on Saturday, but not long and hard enough to write a review.What's the scoop? Let's hear from a few folks, please.See More

Geoff Coe commented on Robin Ragsdale's blog post 'My First Experience as a Jury Member'
Thanks, Robin...very useful perspective. One of my pet peeves: Shows that ask for a description of process, but give you only 100 characters (!) to do so.  I can't do that justice wtht skppg th vwls.

Geoff Coe commented on Nels Johnson's blog post 'Results of my Roadtrip--Islamorada,Key West and Images in New Smyrna Beach'
Nels, good luck in Ft. Myers!  (I've never gotten in there, so I'm heading to Hobe Sound.)  I have a funny feeling that things are looking up...prove me right!

Geoff Coe replied to Linda and Jim Dalton's discussion 'Booth Shot Critique'
Larry, The Master, will weigh in I'm sure...:-) I like the new work! But the two things I notice are: * It's too dark.  You can fix that easily with a levels adjustment in Photoshop. Or, if you're still set up and you've got…

Nice review, Scott, thanks!  Did you have a lot of cash buyers or was it mostly credit cards?

The band's playing, but no one's dancing: How did everyone do Jan. 21-22 ???

Posted on January 23, 2012 at 8:51pm 11 Comments

Three shows that I know of this weekend just in Florida: Hot Works' Boca Raton show, and Howard Alan's shows in Indiatlantic and Delray Beach.

Anyone want to get the ball rolling with a writeup on their show?  Make it brief if you must; others will fill in the gaps.

"Channeling My Inner Tim Tebow?": Cape Coral Festival of the Arts (Jan. 14-15, 2012)

Posted on January 16, 2012 at 11:00am 26 Comments

This was the 28th annual installment of this community staple, run by the Cape Coral Rotary Club.  It's extensively advertised in local media, well supported by local businesses,  and (with the notable exception of the 2010 event, which was held in bone-chilling cold and rain), it always pulls a large crowd.  And it did this year, too, despite stiff competition from the more upscale Bonita Springs National Art Festival held about 35 minutes' drive south. 

The shows are different in…
