palm harbor seafood and art fest

this show sucks, and for some bizarre reason they decided to start charging admission this year so the returning artists said attendance was down 80%.  My neighbor at the show was in my opinion a complete art show genius, she does gem stones and dumped like 5000 of them out on a table so people could pick though and she didnt get an opportunity to sit down all day she was so busy. I think it was definitely difficult for me to sell high end paintings next to 5$ stones, but shoot, she's got her **** figured out.  If i could be that busy all day and make that much money i would.  
Anyways. I dont recommend this show.  there was a howard alan ACE show in st pete same weekend and a painter friend of mine down there said he was doing well, so i chose the wrong show :/

Dont do it!

  • Megan, Thanks for such a succinct review...Jacki's right, you always get right to the point, love that!  Sorry it was such a stinker though but now you know and so do we all.  Better luck next time!

  • haha.. and isnt that what this site is for? honest opinions about shows for people to know whether they want to apply or not.  this is not a fine artists show

  • I dont eat meat, so the food held no appeal either.

  • Megan, you always get right to the point.  You don't mince words.  lol

    Was this the first time you did this show?  Seafood, yum.  At least was the food good for you?

  • Sorry to hear the show sucked for you...It Doesn't sound like much of a juried show if they allowed someone in that  put out 5000 stones on a table for people to pick through. I hope she did something creative besides that to be juried in.
