"Find last years reviews of their New York show on this web site.. That might help.
Connie can help you find it."

"Th entire show is in one hall. FYI.. the show is now filling fast.. Artist who do NOT do the circuit but seek only to be with galleries are coming on board to the extent that we will end up with 200 plus.. The jewelry category has been closed for a…"

"Larry.. good point.. We have 116 craft artists and 60 fines artists...
The quality is very high.. I think that everyone should look at the two sites.

richard Rothbard commented on Bob Stewart's blog post Plaza Art Fair Integrity
"As both an artist and show promoter who has in his career done over 400 should and have been blackballed either deservedly or preducially. I believe that if you make an offer through the mail or over the internet to jury into an art fair and it is…"

"When a promoter says 350 artists; well that is too much/ Especially when it morphs to 585???? GREED GREED KILLS/ Hope all those people in Chicago had fun practicing, just making expenses??? Howard & Richard have an understanding of symbiotic…"
Howard Rose commented on richard Rothbard's blog post No Money For Booth Fees but...
"Regarding Larry's comments, we just signed a $6000+ contract for billboards for our November Fine Art and Crafts at the Westfield Armory show. They want their money now.
Running a show is expensive. But...without exhibitors, we have no show to…"
Larry Berman commented on richard Rothbard's blog post No Money For Booth Fees but...
"I see Howard Rose has commented. I wish a few more promoters can give their feedback on the following. No booth fee or low booth fee plus a commission shows are not as logical as you may think. The facility plus permits cost money in advance and if…"
Christine Green commented on richard Rothbard's blog post No Money For Booth Fees but...
"Actually I work with some very good promoters. The issues we face with good promoters, bad promoters are often similar. If you are a high end artist, you count on 1-3 sales of your 'original art paintings per show, assuming they are priced from…"
Howard Rose commented on richard Rothbard's blog post No Money For Booth Fees but...
"You must have had some terrible experiences with promoters Christine. There are many good ones out there who realize a successful show is a partnership between the artist/craftsperson and the promoter. Good luck on finding some in your area! Howard…"
Christine Green commented on richard Rothbard's blog post No Money For Booth Fees but...
"I would love this idea to get momentum or at least get discussions going about the very real issues artists face. We deserve to be treated with respect and dignity as any other race is, oops! sorry:)"

I see this as an on going problem.. As a promoter I ask for a deposit if $100.00.. Even this is not available for some artists.. I will accommodate with payments stretched over a longer period.. Any artist who would like to do a show of mine and has money issues I will be happy to help..This is a time for all promoters to do what we can to keep everyone in business until things change..Let's not forget that it is you the artists who make it all possible and a successful promoters achievements… Continue

Jo Anne and Albie Alliet said… - Richard -- Would you be interested in attending and applying to a great high quality artisan showcase show? If so would you please contact me at alliet@frontiernet.net, and I can send you the application and pertinent show information. Your work would be a great success at the showcase. We have already passed the deadline date for applying, but I have 4 spaces that I have held open, in the hopes of finding work such as yours. Look forward to hearing from you. Jo Anne Alliet
