I'm at the ZAPP conference and Liz Smith who is the program director of Artisphere was just on a panel about bringing buyers to the art fairs. Greenville is not a large town but their outreach brings people in from an hour to an hour and a half away to visit the show. This is a terrific regional event that does solid marketing to the right demographics.
