Yay! Had my biggest sales day ever at the Crocker Park Fine Art Fair and my highest total in my year and a half of art fairs. I know my art fair career is short but I had a really good show. I had my first $1000 day!
So, thus far my experiment into getting into bigger shows is encouraging. Maybe it was being outside the Baby Gap, maybe it was the kids who brought their parents into the booth or maybe people like my minifigure photographs. I had a lot of compliments and chuckles by those viewing my minifigure photos. But my traditional (non-minifigure shots) sold too. So, I feel validated as an artist.Well, from this weekend at least...
But my experiment will continue this year as I attend Crosby, West Shore (Ludington, MI), Wyandotte, Univ. of Toledo Alumni Show (yes, I am a Rocket alum) and Hyde Park. We will see the results of these fairs too and then decide if shows like the Ann Arbor Art Fairs or Plymouth's Art in the Park are right for me. Just starting out but what a weekend!

Glad to meet you face to face at Maple & Main, Scott.
Nice review.
Wishing you many more $1000 shows!!
Oh yes! Crocker Park is in Westlake, Ohio (suburban Cleveland) and I was interviewed by Chanel 19 news. And Crcoker PArk is run by the Guild of Artists and Artisans and they know how to respect the artists!
Terrific news, Scott! I well remember our first $1000 day, quite a high.
Can you tell us anything else about Crocker Park? (like where is Crocker Park, just for starters?)
