Testimonials from our 2015 Artists:
..."A brilliantly run Arts Fest. From the folks at check in, to the people funding us through load in, to frequent water deliveries, volunteers offering a hand should we need it, to the people at check out. Even the folks in the booths around us were great. It was all a finely tuned and welcoming machine."
..."I have done hundreds of tough shows in my 40 years of doing shows and have never seen such a potentially complicated set up and tear down come off so pleasantly and effectively."
..."You made us all feel welcome and appreciated ... Personally, I had my best ever Park City show...I really am sincere when I say Park City is one of my favorite shows, not just for the reasons listed, but also for much more."

Comments
Now here's a show that asks for a 1000 character DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL AND TECHNIQUE. Well, an artist can write and submit up to that number of characters, but be careful trying to write that much. With this much space to talk about your stuff since it's easy to say something that isn't relevant or necessary. And I believe it's fine to write less than that, especially if you can say enough about your work using fewer characters.
Another interesting facet of their application is that they ask for five images of artwork, but no booth shot. I recently learned that another show doesn't ask for a booth shot; St. James Court in Kentucky.
