"I think it important to those who have applied and those that will consider the show for next year. Any stain on the show reputation should be viewed as a warning "buyer be ware". I can't believe that a Director is more…"

"This will be my third year. The other two years, have been extremely bad weather downtown. Last year, a lot of those customers came to the fairgrounds. I did so-so the first year and did much better last year. I am hoping…"
Lawrence Cimaglio commented on Connie Mettler's blog post A new Buy/Sell?
"One way to discover if the "artist" produced the glass is to ask what the COE is that they use or how long they anneal their glass for.... I love being a techie!"
Lawrence Cimaglio commented on Connie Mettler's blog post A new Buy/Sell?
"As a glass artist, I can sympathize with these concerns. The "Chihuly Style" horns are not unique to him. Nor is the long point vase to Lino. Dale's own gaffers leave his employ to make "similar" pieces (I…"

"Thank you Lynda. I think it may be time for everyone to take a deep breath in. I can't believe I read 6 pages worth of comments. I now need to go clean up my inbox. I don't believe in personal attacks unless it is one on…"
Lawrence Cimaglio commented on Connie Mettler's blog post Moderation and Censorship
"Munks, you certainly are not a man of few words. But, I enjoy each and every one of them. I think that people in general have become short. We have lost civility. Maybe it is the politics, taxes, terrorism or the guy who just…"
Lawrence Cimaglio commented on Christine Heisler's blog post Insurance coverage?
"I have State Farm Insurance and it costs me about $260 a year for $1 mil coverage for my entire company. Not just shows. So when a show wants "additionally insured" I just contact my agent and they send me the completed form...…"

"I also posted, but I don't know where it went... oh well, so little sleep. This is a natural for me because of proximity. I don't do other Chicago city shows because of the parking issue and leaving your things at the…"

"Hi Lawrence, I am also in the show this coming weekend. I have learned to take the numbers any show posts with a grain of salt. It is on the street in old town St. Charles. There are many events in this area so in general all are pretty well…"

Anyone know about Mosaic in St. Charles, MO
Just looking for comments and insight into the show in St. Charles this coming weekend. I have signed up and looking forward to it, but there is very little information out there. They say they get 90,000 attendees. Any comments would be appreciated. Set-up? Sales? any advice is appreciated.
Lawrence Cimaglio commented on Linda A Shields's blog post RIP: ART at the Local Art Fair......or are ARTISTS A DYING BREED?
"In previous posts, I had indicated that I have reevaluated the price points at shows. Although I would love to only sell my $900 pieces, the market was not supporting it right now. So, the cheese moved. I came out with different…"
Lawrence Cimaglio commented on T'Louise Willis's blog post Patrons with cameras
"It is interesting that each of my pieces is hand made one at a time. Painstaking process. And I am not very concerned about reproduction. Go ahead, try! If we grow in our art, we lead. If someone "rips" us…"

"I don't mind people taking photos of my 3D glass work because it is so complicated, they wouldn't be able to duplicate it. If they do, I also change out 20% of my product line every year. However, it was explained to me by a…"

- What are the best things about art fairs
- The encouragement of the patrons. It is a great feeling when they see what I see. It gives affirmation.
- Best show ever and why
- Hasn't happened yet, still anticipating.
- Worst show ever and why
- I have had unproductive shows, but I can't call those a worst show. I always learn from each show. Some, I will not do again, but maybe the management was top notch and the weather was bad or the patrons just didn't get 3D and seemed to be looking for flat work. Change the day and it can change the show.

I have noticed quite a few artists using the new cube attached to their I-Phone or Android and was wondering how well they are working? I currently have ATT and will be making a change soon as I never am able to check weather online because of connectivity problems, so also tell me who your carrier is and if you have ever had a problem getting online to process cards or to check the internet. Thanks bunches.

I have had adults spill beer, ice cream and wine on my light colored table cloths, and all the while dropping my pieces. I actually get defensive when parents say "look, don't touch". For the most part, this is an example of parental laziness- if they listen, I(parent) don't have to pay attention to my kids. I ask the parents if I can speak to their kids and of course, mom and dad say yes and then lean in to hear what I say. I tell the kids, that it is o'k (with parent permission) to ask… Continue
