Longwood Arts and crafts Festival in Fl.

So much for doing my homework on this show. Over the past few years I think I know how to pick the right show for my work. I am an oil painter and my paintings are bright colorful and certainly affordable to the right crowd.

I deserve a bad grade for choosing this show. If you create art that can be mounted on a stick, pole, rod, rebar, pipe etc then this would be the show for you. If you are a fine artist working in 2d then I would stay away from this show.

I must give credit to the volunteers who run the show, they did an excellent job of managing the show. I made a total of $46.00 on prints and magnets. I paid $25.00 to park so that gave me a total of $17.00 When I calculate my show cost, hotel, gas, etc then I am really in the red.

My advice is if you normally do Fine Art Shows as I do then you will be a fish out of water at this show. Oh well hopefully I can regain my losses at the Space Coast Art Festival the weekend after thanksgiving.
I am not one to complain about shows or promoters I just wanted to pass along my opinion to other 2d artist. The crowd was huge both days they just did not come to buy fine art.

I am sure some artist/crafters did well I just was not one of them. So live and learn and I will try a different show next year.
