"So, you don't agree with the idea of artists being grouped by talent.
You pointed out that if a show decides to cancel due to weather is exactly what I'm talking about. I've had several shows cancel because of…"

"I don't mind being next to jewelers or painters but if I'm next to tin can airplanes and hand painted name plates I'm in the wrong show. I don't mind being next to an artist with a lower price point as long as it is unique…"

"I hear you, Alison but, I've done shows that were advertised as fine art shows, only to find myself situated, as the only painter, in a group of jewelry, tin can airplane novelties, and hand-painted nameplate artisans. There's a…"

"Addressing number 1 - I don't want to be right next to other photographers, especially if all the photographers in the show are together. It becomes a race to the bottom price wise. I do agree that plants and vinyl siding belong…"

"James, if you are not getting refunds there is an artists Facebook group that is sending emails to these shows. Reach out to them -- NAIA FB Forum. Carroll Swayze is doing the letters."

"A couple of weeks ago the director for Krasl Art on the Bluff sent out this correspondence. 1. They refunded 100% of paid booth fees for invited artists 2. They are waiving 2021 application/jury fees for 2020 invited artists 3. 2020 invited…"

"I have to agree that most of the show organizers seem to be looking around as to what they can do to help us; some coming to us and asking for our feedback and suggestions. It's sweet and it feels really good.

Artists Bill of Rights
As this COVID-19 pandemic has swept through the country, we've all found ourselves with a lot on our plates and very little cash in our wallets. With many of the art shows canceling or rescheduling, we find that trying to juggle time and distance with energy expended and profits lost. But, in actuality, this situation could work towards our advantage.Over the last few years, most of you have been aware of the rising cost of doing these shows. Not only have the booth and application fees gone…See More

Art Fest in Harrisburg...Questions?
Posted on January 7, 2019 at 2:38pm 7 Comments 1 Like
How Y'all doing.
I'm thinking of doing the Jump Street event in Harrisburg at the end of May but I have a question and I was hoping my fellow members here, could help me out.
My question is this, do the organizers of this show have any arrangements for overnight parking of RV's? I've emailed the organization twice and still no reply.
