I have done this show in this location 10 times. Most likely 10 reviews here on AFI. If you want logistics look up Chastain and Buckhead in my posts. Chastain in the fall fine art, Buckhead in the spring art and craft. Too busy to spoon feed the info. (FYI 3rd try getting this posted so have condensed a bit;)Friday set up. Rain until noon but clear after that and we had until 9pm to set up.Saturday morning was a bit chilly, but that is a treat for me with art shows. Sunny all day and the crowds were steady. Like I have said in the past this is a great 2d show. High price points work was moving.Sunday was daylight savings. The show officially opened at 11am. That is really noon. The walkers, jogers and dog folks were awake and ready to buy by official time 9 am. Unusual for Atlanta, but if you were there you were making money. Many artists took advantage of the extra hour of sleep but those of us that showed up made big sales. Snooze you loose. Again another beautiful fall day. By mid afternoon great crowd really ready to buy. Tons of large work flying out of the show. Many artists over the moon, some happy and some not so much. This is not the type of show where you can throw a booth together and sit back in your chair and expect money to be handed to you. You need to bring your A game and be ready to interact with the patrons.Breakdown is never easy in a park setting. I am pretty fast and had a double booth. I was broken down and driving out with deliveries with in 1.5 hours. Congrats to AFFPS for the best Chastain show to date. I can't wait for spring Buckhead and hope to be invited back to Fall Chastain in 2014.
I was at this festival also the AFFPS gang do a great job organizing and putting on a wonderful show! And man did they get us out of that tight show in a timely manner.
