What are the best things about art fairs

Human creativity never ceases to amaze!


Best show ever and why

Ann Arbor Art fair 1972 because I was a small town young girl/ artist and had never been to one before.


Worst show ever and why

I was very disappointed in last year's Port Clinton Art fair. This show has changed over the years. Last year they had very few painters. More crafty kind of displays.


Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.

While searching for used panels for my booth I contacted Kathleen Gaffey who was selling some. She said it was a good site.


What is one fun fact about yourself?

I was in a MTV rock video
