"Atlanta Arts Festival has always been great for me. It is a top notch show run by the same folks that promote Virginia-Highlands and is led by Nancy Musser. They provide breakfast, lunch and dinner and have a well organized army of…"

"Kathy, your greatest asset is your sunny disposition. Even in the face of adversity you have a smile on your face and a kind word to offer. You will do well in 2012. I look forward to seeing you down the road."

"My section L was the first block off the square. Perhaps that was a bad choice. I think only 1 craftsperson did well on the whole block (12 booths) I almost made show expenses. I wish the show well. Julie works so…"

"Hi Winthrope. Great write up. I am glad to hear you did well. Your work is beautiful. I'm sure we will see each other again soon. "

"The people on the streets up to Ellis did not fare well. Buying energy there was dismal. I think the street artists had a really rough time one said she did only $350(jewelry) in sales others just shook their heads "not good" when I asked.…"

"Nice write-up, Winthrope and I love reading about your historical perspective on the show! It was very nice to meet you last weekend! I agree that Julie did an outstanding job. Her communications were stellar and I don't think…"

17th Annual Telfair Art Fair, Savannah, Georgia
Five years ago, my first art show ever was Telfair Art Fair, an annual fund raiser for Savannah's premier art museum. At that point it was in its 12th year. Every year, a new director takes the reigns leading to an inconsistency in proceedures. Some years, Telfair took a commission from all sales. Sometimes, if you paid a healthy booth fee, Telfair processed the sales, but kept no commission. Pay a lower fee and Telfair kept a commission. The one thing consistent from year to year was a…See More

"Huh he must be thinking of someone else:) Nope we were packed up and on the road by 6:30. No rain at all!"
Winthrope Hiers commented on Winthrope Hiers's blog post AFB Woodland Art Fair, Lexington, Kentucky
"Hello Michelle. No, I do mostly black and white, no particular subject; urban panoramas to nature. I had 32x40" framed-under-glass prints hanging. I did see one photographer who mounted his photos on stainless steel. I was booth 39 between the…"

"Hi Winthrope! Glad you had a good show. Guess it was not the show for me.
My husband walked the show on Sunday and was trying to place your work. Do you print on tiles? Or something like that?"
Jim Parker commented on Winthrope Hiers's blog post AFB Woodland Art Fair, Lexington, Kentucky
"Nice report! Glad you had a good show, and that the weather gods were kind to you."

AFB Woodland Art Fair, Lexington, Kentucky
The AFB Woodland Art Fair is a much anticipated, premier event in Lexington, Kentucky. This past weekend (August 20-21, 2011), was my second opportunity to show my photographs in Woodland Park, an almost downtown, urban park in a neighborhood setting. I live in Savannah, Georgia, so I began my nine hour journey to the blue-grass state at 6:00 am Friday morning. I arrived at 3:00 pm to an easy set-up. Load-in begins at noon so many of the artists had already come and gone. You drive…See More
Winthrope Hiers commented on deb eck's blog post dumb questions
"Marie, take a look at ifp3.com (my website is blp.ifp3.com). It is easy to set up, professional looking, infinitely adjustable, practically unlimited space, SEO friendly, includes PayPal, and you can change things at any time. The cost is $240…"
Winthrope Hiers commented on Bill and Jon Slade's blog post Gaithersburg, Maryland- 6/25-26
"I'm a 2-D artist who was at Gaithersburg. The show was held in a side parking lot of a sprawling, up-scale shopping complex. Although there was an array of signs pointing the way, only a trickle of patrons passed though the show. However, those…"
