"Hi Warren - I apologize for not catching your name correction on the sheet.
We have a line on the application that asks the artist what they would like to be listed as. If they leave it blank, we default to the company name. We do…"

OK Artists! Time to speak up. Besides booth pricing (because we all know you would want it to be free!) what would you like to see in your "Dream Art Fair." Let's also try to do this with as little…Continue

Kristina Jones replied to pamela bartl's discussion exteneded deadlines
"I know that for my shows, I give us a week to jury in the initial dates, but if the jury actually falls later in the week or gets pushed back more, I will extend the deadline until then. As long as I have enough time to do all the…"
Kristina Jones commented on Connie Mettler's blog post Show Report: Great Lakes Art Fair, Novi, Michigan
"Hi Debbie,
We are a fine art show, not a craft show. We actually created another craft show in December for everyone who could not get into this show! You can get more information at www.GreatLakesArtFair.com."

"I'm also interested from a position of constantly being asked questions and being able to provide answers to both show directors and artists.

"Hi, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts as the process continues. I co-organize a smaller local show but we've considered using an online application process to simplfy the piles of paperwork on our end - plus we'd like to give…"

Entry Thingy vs. Zapplication
After 3 shows of fighting to get what has been promised, we decided to use Entry Thingy instead of Zapplication for our entries for the Fall 2010 Great Lakes Art Fair. So far, we have had very little complaints about the software, as long as the person has some sense of how to work a computer. There have been a few drawbacks on the Administrator side, but not enough to detract from the…See More
Kristina Jones replied to Michelle Sholund's discussion Show evaluations - do you take them seriously in the group Show Organizers & Directors
"We look at each one and take most of the comments seriously (serve Coke, not Pepsi?!? Really....) Artists do this every weekend and know what works and doesn't, so they would be the ones to let us know how to make things better. The problem…"
Kristina Jones replied to David Csaszar's discussion Bringing in the Artists... in the group Show Organizers & Directors
"How are you taking applications? I would suggest ZAPP for the first year at least, as many artists are on there and use it to find shows that they can go to. Once you get a good list under your belt, then switch to a less expensive, easier to use…"
Art on the Lawn: Barbara Berney replied to Kristina Jones's discussion Your Dream Art Fair
"I live in a city very hard hit by unemployment and lack of re-employment, one of the worst in the nation. And yet, last weekend, before the deluge shut us down, Art on the Lawn had a brisk trade, and as I made the rounds to visit with each artist,…"
Chris Hoyt replied to Kristina Jones's discussion Your Dream Art Fair
"LOL! Amen to that, Chris! Spreading the wealth isn't the mantra of the rich.
They do spread the wealth. But now they're being told to and naturally they will close their wallets even more. And their taxes aregoing to go up next year too,…"
Jacqueline Webster replied to Kristina Jones's discussion Your Dream Art Fair
"LOL! Amen to that, Chris! Spreading the wealth isn't the mantra of the rich.
I believe that the rudeness and fit-pitching goes beyond the exhibitors, though. I've noticed a new level of aggressiveness just doing my grocery shopping. I…"
Chris Hoyt replied to Kristina Jones's discussion Your Dream Art Fair
"I will agree with you about earning the money over a period of time. I work an average 8 hour day making product and sell it on weekends. And it's not work to me at all.
But I see so many exhibitors griping and complaining lately, I wonder if…"

"O.K. I will admit to being a relative newbie when it comes to being a participating artist in Art Festivals and shows, but have attended hundreds as a guest/purchaser of art and here are my suggestions (gripes!?)
1) Juried Shows = Artistic Snobbery…"
Chris Hoyt replied to Kristina Jones's discussion Your Dream Art Fair
"I would like to see a show where the exhibitors are friendly with each other. Friendships are critical in this business.
I don't want to see the exhibitor who thinks s/he's the "star" of the show and everybody else is beneath…"
Scott Lightfoot replied to Kristina Jones's discussion Your Dream Art Fair
"Look, as an artist who is trying to break away from 'traditional' employment to do my art full time, here is what I want from an art fair. I have three goals for ANY art fair I participate in.
1) Make Immediate Money - If I am spending a…"
