"I have done the show for almost two decades, and once you're in, you're in until your category is rejuried - I think every ten years (?).

Hello
Hi, I have actually been using artfairinsiders for quite a while, but never joined. I like to check out this site before applying to shows. I am from Rome Georgia, and have been doing art shows/fairs for about 14 years. I don't do many a year, though, because I am a teacher and can only travel in the summer. However, I retire in 10 years and plan on going to more places. My husband, Johnnie, is also an artist. He makes hand built pottery. I do a bunch of stuff. Goes with the teacher job…See More

- Worst show ever and why
- Some chili cook off in Warner Robbins GA. I was new to doing art fairs. Most artists left on Saturday night, but we didn't. On Sunday, the police were blocking artists from leaving early.

Thanks, Penny, for submitting those art show reviews. We really appreciate your help. Also, a special thanks for the Georgia Art Show. We don't have many of those & that was a nice surprise.
