Paul Flack commented on Robin Anne Cooper's blog post 'Folk Fest in Atlanta Aug 20-22'
2010 Folk Fest was back on track for our group of 11 - Who-Ha Da-Da. The entire group was up to 2008 levels, the crowd was good and the energy on Friday night was incredible. The key is that the show is not for everybody. It is very tricky, best is…
Camille Ronay commented on Robin Anne Cooper's blog post 'Folk Fest in Atlanta Aug 20-22'
A group of us participated in the 2009 FolkFest. I didn't see a very strong attendance. But maybe it was because we, as new people, were on the last row of exhibitors.
The attendees were there to enjoy the folk art, and, often, to buy. I…

I've heard of this show before. I thought I'd heard you had to be sponsored by a gallery to do it. (?) The promoters lack of concern in addressing the issues of faulty electric would worry me.
Thanks for moving this farther down my list…
Folk Fest in Atlanta Aug 20-22
So I just finished my 5th FolkFest, this has traditionally been one of my best shows - large crowds with lots of sales. This year was different the crowds where down as where the sells volume.I sold big things to repeat customers and small things to new customers. This is an indoor show which essential in Atlanta this time of year where it is normally just to hot to think outside, but the show is held in an old trade center and the air conditioning was not working in our section of the…See More

Robin Anne Cooper commented on Barbara Nelson's blog post 'Has anyone done the Hot Works Charlotte show?'
I did this show last year and was disappointed there were very few people but the organizers were nice and the quality of art was very high. BUT I am only there for the sales and will not be returning. I think the location in a depressed part of…

Connie, you are correct. It draws both and is well supported by the locals, Those who 'have' spend and like to support the event. They seperated painings [ fine Art ] and placed them across the street in the square across from the Francis…
Connie Mettler commented on Robin Anne Cooper's blog post 'Show Report- Charleston Piccolo Spoleto Craft Show'
Thanks so much for reporting in on this show. I've always wanted to hear about it. It seems that the overall event must draw some moneyed people and a cultured crowd, a nice group for a good fair. Were the fine art and craft shows run by…

Robin,
I did both weekends and found the first weekend very slow, but the second weekend exceeded my expectations. Had good sales and Friday was the best day for the 'money people' returning home and shipping items out. I found the over…
Show Report- Charleston Piccolo Spoleto Craft Show
I did both weekends of the show and the best thing about it was the people. Great support, lots of nice people who brought water and snacks around every hour or so, lots of booth sitters and a great brunch on SundayMorning. Move-in Move-out was rough as you must have dolly and go up and down aramp to enter the show area. There was a wide variety of art on display and anice price point range, the layout was much better than the Spoleto Fine ArtShow that went on across the street. The heat and…See More

Robin Anne Cooper commented on steven's blog post 'washington international art festival, Washington DC 2010'
I did participate in this show and it was not good.
If you look at the "quote" from the promoter what stands out to me is that 80% of the very poorly attend event did not even know they were going to see art it is amazing that anyone sold…

Robin Anne Cooper replied to Ann Steverson's discussion 'Panels, Grids, Mesh.. Oh my! ? !'
My advice use professional set-ups I started out with creating my own system it was heavy and hard to get around. Other people have spent the time and money to figure it out, but most importantly I recommend finding a way to borrow or rent a set…
