We started out with cool and wind conditions on Friday but at least we had a Friday afternoon set up. The Junior League did a find job of organizing the event and one of them helped me get my tent up. Saturday was again windy and cool with jackets a necessity. Sunday a bit warmer. There were good crowds brought out by lots of advertising. A continental breakfast was served both days and water was given to us at no cost. Lunch delivery was offered at a small charge and booth sitting provided if you requested it. I did not attend the banquet opting instead for a wonderful tapas dinner at The Living Room. I was in the first row of the show and had parking quite close to my booth so had easy set up and break down but it was dark as we were breaking down. I was in the area with the street lights and pitty those farther into the park as I think they must have had more difficulty without lighting. The artist making garden art did well, the illistrater did not, the etching artist was very pleased as was the gourd artist and I was happy but it was not the $4000 show that Art Fair Sourcebook said it was last year. I was treated nicely, walked away with money in my pocket and would return if invited.
Dunedin Art Harvest 2014 can suck it. I think I was in sort of a bad spot but sales were terrible. All of my neighbors were really unhappy. There is a loop around a pond and that area seemed to have more traffic and then a few rows over by the community center. I was on a side row as well which seemed to be even worse. Saturday was suppperrrrr windy. terrifyingly windy. so that may have affected crowds a bit, but it really didnt seem to. It was also cold saturday and sunday, although sunday was low breeze. I was excited about this show, I thought I had read good info on it, but maybe it used to be, however, I wont be doing this show again. My neighbor made a noteworthy comment that most of the people in Dunedin (old) are past their collecting years, so all anyone seemed to sell were inexpensive things. Wont be doing this again. and I dont recommend it. there are like 250 artists which is too many in my opinion for a tiny ass little down like Dunedin.
