This event is run by EM Events, founded by Erin Melloy in 1995 as an event planning company specializing in outdoor art festivals.
ARTISTS, you are what it's all about. We can't control the weather (really) or the economy (unfortunately) but we can make sure you have the opportunity to showcase your art at well organized, carefully juried festivals.
At EM Events, we don't make money off your booth or jury fees. We are paid a flat rate fee no matter the size of the event. This approach allows us to focus on the art. We at EM Events-along with our many clients-believe in quality of art work over quantity of artists.
Comments
I did this one last year. Lovely show. Small but nice people, decent sales, easy setting. My art is colorful, attracts young kids and teens. There was lots of families so maybe that is why it worked for me. If you are a local I will recommend it. Keep in mind it is small, in a park. I did it with low expectations, just because it was close to me. I left happy. There is a church across the street so people came after that. It was very hot and humid. Make sure to bring an umbrella.
Erin Malloy runs quality shows and has improved this one since she took it over. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it is the same weekend as Krasl and I hate having to miss one of these two great shows!!
