Renee Engebretson commented on Christine Green's blog post Is there a level playing field with Zapplication?
"I don't have time to read all of the posts so I apologize if this is redundant. Isn't it odd that at least 2 of the top fine craft shows do not ask for a booth slide and yet put on arguably some of the most beautiful shows out there?…"

Renee Engebretson replied to BenJamin Stielow's discussion Got my latest rejection, do you have one to share?
"WHAT? It was really cold. And really windy. I kept running to the van to get more gloves and scarves to hand out to the neighbors. While I was doing that Jim was tying down all the EZ-ups around us. Maybe that's why sales were virtually…"

Cherry Creek - Denver, CO

Posted on July 10, 2009 at 11:38pm 2 Comments

Good fortune has allowed us to do Cherry Creek for 13 years - not consecutively. After not being there last year we had hoped that things would be good. It was the first time EVER, anywhere, that we sold only one piece over $100.00. Sales were not anywhere near what they should be for a show of this caliber. Interest however, was amazing. I don't remember both of us talking this much- but it was like pulling teeth. We also gave out MANY business cards. Have had two call backs for larger pieces… Continue

Des Moines Art Festival.

We did the Des Moines art fair last month, this is only the second time for us. The last time we did it was six years ago. Our sales figures were pretty much the same which is okay with us. Of course when it comes to sales, mediocre is the new good. The show is great about communication, advertising, volunteers, load in and out.

Hey Renee, we're only doing Palm Beach (that's about all my head can take). See you there. We're staying in the Studio 6 (kitchen etc...) for 5 nights at $64. Terry Evans is staying for 7 nights @ $54, also 4 nights for $69, I could prattle on but I think you get the idea. See you there.
