Hi, Folks I've now counted 6 current independent discussions on the topic of insurance that all cover the same ground.  I'm wondering if we could all agree to combine these into one post so that: 1. …Continue

Visqueen?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Larry Berman Feb 27, 2011. 9 Replies

I just recieved a mailing from the spring OKC show that recommends visqueen for booth protection in inclement weather.  It sounds like it has some kind of slit in it so that customers can still enter…Continue

I haven't really done too many shows in CO, but this year I'm sticking closer to home for various reasons, so we'll see how it goes. I use primarily CO Artist Tour and Zapp to find shows, but also poke around places like Denver…

Jacqueline Webster replied to Annette Williams's discussion 'Denver Merchandise Market , April 20-23 2012'
Hi, Annette I am also a photographer.  I wouldn't consider this a "big" show.  I had to go look this one up on the Merchandise Mart website, so definitely not well-advertised.  850 vendors, $695 booth - VERY steep for…

Which event? The Merchandise Mart hosts everything from quilt shows to gun shows. Need to know your subject matter as well.  Thx!

Jacqueline Webster commented on Nels Johnson's blog post 'ESCALATING BOOTH FEES--IN THIS RECESSION WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?'
This directly impacts how many shows I can do in a year.  And it's not just street shows.  There some fairly well-attended holiday shows in my area, but with high jury and booth fees, and additional electric fees, plus these places…

Jacqueline Webster replied to Larry Berman's discussion 'Image Projection and Open Juries'
I went to the Cherry Creek image review workshop last week and found seeing my projected images helpful.  It was especially good to see the booth shots really big.  All those "little" problems that don't seem so bad on your…

Here's the link to the piece on Alice Walton's Crystal Bridges Museum on CBS Sunday Morning:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsX8yBnWHNU   Much more balanced and enlightening, I think.  If I ever get to Arkansas, this place…

Jacqueline Webster replied to Connie Mettler's discussion 'Why Am I Getting so Many Rejections?'
I'm hoping so.  It's in person at the CCAF offices with a former CCAF juror doing live critiques.  I've signed up to have my images critiqued.  We'll see what happens.

Jacqueline Webster replied to Connie Mettler's discussion 'Why Am I Getting so Many Rejections?'
A timely topic!  Cherry Creek Arts Festival and ZAPP just announced a free mock jury opportunity in Denver this morning.  It's on Thursday, November 11th.  Details from the email are pasted below: Dear Artist,  Don't…

No, you're not mistaken.  This is what turned me off completely in the end.

Jacqueline Webster replied to Larry Berman's discussion 'Another Online Application System'
And it looks like you have sign up before you can look to see if the opportunities are what you're looking for.  Zapp and JAS let you see calls without signing up.  Plus if you need more than 15MB of space for your images you have pay…

Jacqueline Webster replied to Ann Marie Crosmun's discussion 'The Guild: The Artful Home Catalogs & Website'
I looked into this last year and decided that it wasn't for me.  It was $300  to "join" - not sure if the fees have changed.  Not sure what your medium is, but I found the catalog to be heavy on jewelry, glass, and…

Jacqueline Webster replied to marjorie bowers's discussion 'Items Necessary at a show'
Great advice.  But I would add two more creature comforts:  a roll of toilet paper and a pack of sanitizing hand wipes.  Nothing can make a bad show worse than having to drip dry in a filthy port-o-let.  Having a quick way to…

Jacqueline Webster replied to Geoff Coe's discussion 'Donating to Charity Auctions: Career-killer?'
I agree for the most part.  I think the promises of "exposure" are way overrated and that artists are hit up for these things far too often.  That said, I have donated a few small pieces this year to what I consider worthy…

Plus, you actually get something for the $25-30 a month data plan. If it soley existed for square use only, it is an apples to apples comparison, but there are lots of other uses for the IPhone and the required data plan.  On ther other…

Gary Haynes replied to Jacqueline Webster's discussion 'PCI Fee - 1st National Processing'
I'm solidly with Barry.   Mea, PCI only applies when the system the merchant uses 'stores' information. Square stores NOTHING on your phone or iPad.  So they probably won't ever need to charge this fee.  Don't…

Barry Bernstein replied to Jacqueline Webster's discussion 'PCI Fee - 1st National Processing'
First of all, I don't need anyone educating me about the "weak links" in my system.  Second, if I should ever take a bad credit card, I will never see a penny of that money so who am I protecting by being forced to pay this? The…

Review: Colorado ArtFest at Castle Rock September 10 & 11

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 2:24pm 3 Comments

Background

I originally applied to this show at the recommendation of a jeweler I met in Wichita back in the spring.  I am a photographer working in traditional and historic processes with a mid-range price point.  I do offer a limited number of lower cost reproductions and postcards as well.  Castle Rock is located on I-25 just south of Denver, and about 30 minutes north of Colorado Springs.  It's an upper-middle class to high-end area with traditional-leaning…

Wichita Annual Book, Art and Craft Fair - Mother's Day Weekend

Posted on May 10, 2011 at 10:39am 3 Comments

When I applied for this show, I was looking for something close to the OKC 6-day show.  The Book & Art fair is held every year on Mother's Day weekend at the Century II exhibit hall in Wichita, Kansas as a fundraiser for the local art museum.  As the date of the show approached, my husband and I were faced with a couple of very unexpected and expensive events that had me questioning whether or not to do this one.  He talked me into going, but I chose to drive and set-up on the same day…

Downtown Boulder (CO) ArtFair July 17 & 18

Posted on July 20, 2010 at 5:40pm 4 Comments



This is an annual event held primarily on the Pearl Street pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado. This was my second festival ever and the second in Boulder. Set-up & tear-down were a dream for me because I was on the non-mall end of Pearl Street where I could just drive in next to my booth without having to jockey around anyone else. I expect folks who were on the mall had to…

Boulder (CO) Farmers' Market Fine Art & Fine Craft Fair April 24th

Posted on April 26, 2010 at 12:10pm 3 Comments

My first ever festival was this one day event this past Saturday in Boulder's Central Park. Held monthly in conjunction with the farmers' market, this was the first of seven events for 2010, and the only one I was invited to (wait listed for 4 more).



For those of you who aren't familiar with Colorado, there are a few things that you should know. First, there are many things that folks

in other states take for granted that are completely optional here,

such as road… Continue
