"We have done some west coast shows that use the "art bucks" concept. The most recent that I recall is Indian Wells Art Fest. I know there have been others and if I think of them will post again. I agree that it can create some buying…"

Pauline Haas-Vaughn replied to Ruth Finkenbiner's discussion Shooting at a festival. Are we crazy???
"Honestly, my opinion is that if it happened once I would say "well that can happen anywhere" but the fact that it has happened twice in 5 years would cause more concern for me about it being a risky area/event. Too bad they did not outlaw…"
Pauline Haas-Vaughn replied to Tariq Mix's discussion How do I go about finding my first suitable art fair? Is it to late to sign up for the good art fairs.
"I just wanted to "second" what Dave and Nancy said that if a show indicates that the deadline has passed it is worth checking if they are still accepting late applications. We actually got into 2 decent shows this last season by emailing…"

Pauline Haas-Vaughn replied to Kaye Light's discussion Golden CO art festival
"Congrats!! We got into Golden once and did great there even though we sold out (before the show) on most of our best selling items. I would plan to bring at least $12-14K in merchandise if you can do that. We sold more than 60% of the merchandise…"

"Thanks Rich! I did find an old thread too after I posted and it does not sound like it would be worthwhile with the distance I would have to travel. I think I will apply to the "court" area or one of the other more desirable sections…"
Rich Terry replied to Pauline Haas-Vaughn's discussion St. James Court Show
"The West End Baptist Church portion of the show is probably the only portion still accepting applications. It is a bazaar type environment. I have not done this show but I have visited it and my best description would be eclectic.

Pauline Haas-Vaughn replied to Tariq Mix's discussion How good has the trimline canopy with mesh walls worked for the art fair vets?
"We would never go back to using anything but a trimline....it is really a great tent. We did use one of the mesh panels for a while before we switched to pro-panels and for us it worked very well. We sell fused glass and hung jewelry displays,…"
