Thanks to you, the rest of your staff, and the many volunteers. This was the best experience ever, and I am still on cloud nine as I begin to plan for next year with compelling and interesting shoots in my constant journey to take my photographic art up a notch!   Patti Gary, Photographer

Thank you for creating a wonderful show, where my husband and I were blown away by the friendliness and professionalism of your team. We had a lovely time and will be applying again next year. This was probably our favorite show we’ve participated in since we started and it’s mainly down to it being so well organized and the staff showing a caring and ‘can do’ attitude.   Best, Danyelle Lakin, 2D Mixed Media

 Thank you it was a great show. One of my pieces sold for the highest price of any of my single pieces. Which was great, but also wanted to show it at Southlake, Brookside and Belleville, which are my next few shows. But it's gone! Anyway, thank you for the great show. Warm regards   Mark Zirinsky, Studio Z, Denver

Just wanted to circle back regarding The Woodlands Festival & let you know that I had a KILLER show!! Thank you for consistently making this a world class art festival.❤️ Julia Gilmore
