Your Medium: Nature Photography

Years in the Art Fair Business: 7

First show ever: 1st Chick's Beach Art Show, August 2006. This was a very informal gathering of about 12-15 local artists. I didn't do another show until the next year (2007). The second show got me started doing more shows.

What is your website?: http://evadsti.com

What are the best things about art fairs: Meeting people and talking about your work. I do my photography to share my love of nature and wildlife with others.

Best show ever and why: That's a toss up. I love the Ocean View Art Shows and have participated in the everyone since2007. They are large shows, 60 to 70 artists, situated in a park along the Chesapeake Bay. The event is put on by artists, and 2012 will be the 50th year. My other favorite show is the Chic's Beach Art Show. Great support from the local community and always good sales.

Worst show ever and why: Probably the Virginia Beach Art on the Curve. The director owned a gift shop with a large front lawn, on a busy road to the Beach. She charged us to set up on the lawn on Memorial Day weekend, then did absolutely no advertising. Traffic was bumper to bumper, but no one knew there was an Art Show going on!

Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.: Not sure how I found this site, but have been a member for several years.

Chincoteague Island Easter Decoy and Wildlife Art Show

Posted on April 5, 2010 at 10:52am 1 Comment 0 Likes

Just got back from the Chincoteague Island Decoy and Wildlife Art Show. The show is held every year on the Friday and Saturday before Easter. This year had a great selection of Artists, and the crowds were pretty good, too. It was a nice weekend to visit the Island, with warm weather and good sunshine. Chincoteague has a lot of “summer” cottages owned by people in the Mid-Atlantic…

Currituck Art Extravaganza

Posted on March 16, 2010 at 8:07pm 3 Comments 0 Likes

This past Saturday was the annual Currituck Art Extravaganza. This is a small indoor show put on by the Currituck County, N.C., Arts Council. The show was just 5 hours long, but they had a steady stream of visitors, and I saw a lot of work being carried out the door. The Arts Council does a great job with this smaller show. They have a good balance of styles and just the right amount of Artists. Last year this show was my best one day show, and topped several two day shows I did. This year my… Continue

Art Awards Show, Virginia Beach, VA

Posted on February 22, 2010 at 1:37pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

I just finished unpacking from the Art Awards Show, in Virginia Beach, VA, and wanted to send a quick report. I was there with a group of volunteers from the Chesapeake Bay Art Association, so my review doesn't reflect any of the artists that had booth space there. We did have a booth for our Association, and sold a few prints there.

The Art Awards Show had the best variety and quality of work that I have seen at an Art Show in a long time. The Artists were all the best if their… Continue

Show Report: 47th Ocean View Art Show

Posted on October 12, 2009 at 10:48am 10 Comments 0 Likes

Just getting ready to unload the truck from the weekend's show at Ocean View, in Norfolk, VA. The show was a great one-day show - but it lasted two days! First, the location is Ocean View Beach Park, in Norfolk, VA. Despite the name, the park is on the Chesapeake Bay. It's a nice park with grassy fields and paved pathway winding through the middle. Chesapeake Bay Art Association has been putting on this show since 1962.

The weather didn't cooperate with us Friday or Saturday. Gusting… Continue
