Once again the Art on the Square in little Belleville, IL, is highly ranked by Greg Lawler's Art Fair Sourcebook, and good for them! It goes to show what a small highly motivated community can accomplish. If more events were as community-centered as this one and their organizers had the manpower, energy and time to pull them together as excellently the newest generation of artists and art fair goers would see how this grand business got started in the first place.
Ratings of events in the Art Fair Sourcebook are base on reported artist's sales. This is a pretty reliable source for finding out if you will make money. The only drawback is who reports and how truthful they are, but a good indicator of your chances of earning.
Congratulations, Patty Gregory, your committee and the city of Belleville.
