"We already figured the NE exposure areas since we are printmakers the sun is not our friend! We are pretty excited to be trying the Midwest shows finally having always done the West shows only. We figure since people from the Midwest by our work…"

"Since the Square is - well, a square - I don't think there are any BAD spots. The public walks the walk at least twice around the square, so you should definitely take your time to make anyone who walks into your booth appreciated for…"

"This is our first time in Madison. Is there one part of the show that is better to be in than another? We have no idea what to ask for as far as booth numbers."

"Great story, Michael. See, they never told you this could happen in art school."

"Yowza! I was there and if I hadn't seen the severe weather coming in on the TV in the store behind me, I would have been blown away. I was able to get everything down and packed into that same store (bless that owner!). I…"

"Pretty funny that this discussion was first posted a year ago! So please read it with that in mind, look at the dates of the postings.
Madison has a new show director this year, it may be that she is still learning the ropes and that has delayed the…"

"We got notification yesterday that we were accepted. The previous emails indicated they wouldn't be sending out any information until the 28th. Apparently they have resolved whatever the problem was. A little off topic, this will be our first…"

"I also received the same notification. It looked like this:
Dear Artists,Due to unforeseen circumstances, notifications on acceptance status for the Art Fair on the Square will be sent out on Monday, March 28th at the latest.Thank you for your…"
Molly Bitters replied to Amy Furgiuele's discussion Has anyone done the Deerfield Festival of Art and/or the Naperville Women's Guild Art Show? in the group Chicagoland Artisans
"Now keep in mind that this was two years ago, and my customers might not be yours, but Deerfield kinda sucked. The show was in a weird venue in the parking lot along railroad tracks, the people who came were all about bargaining, and the…"

"H’mm… they are late! Or, in 4 hours, they will be late.
These new posts are tacked on to a thread from last year, though: in case anyone did not notice that."
