Will you do me a favor and donate $24 to keep
the art fair news coming into your mailbox? Bet
you can! Here comes our PBS/NPR-style pledge drive.
When we started our 1st art fair website 13 years ago we wouldn't have guessed that they'd expand to five! Or that we'd have nearly 60,000 subscribers and have top Google ratings! You love art fairs, you found your way to one of our sites and we thank you!
Have our sites and newsletters helped you:
- find a new art fair in your community?
- taken you to an art fair when you are traveling and need your "art fix?"
- meet an incredible artist?
- fill your home and office with beautiful and amazing work?
- earn a living as an artist?
If so, will you contribute to our 8th Annual Pledge Drive that supports our mission of bringing fine art to your neighborhood and enabling the creative people you meet there to continue in their livelihoods? If our work contributed to your life we'd really appreciate your help.
We're asking for a small pledge starting at $24 (only $2/month)? Plus, pledging also makes you eligible to win some great prizes. Pledge here.
If you are wondering about ArtFairInsiders.com and its contributions to art fair life I think you'll enjoy this read from artist Nels Johnson some years ago:

You have a great memory. I did go to the conference & gave a report. It's in the archives. I enjoyed meeting you and the things you shared with us. It is special to 'put a face with a name', as they say. I also met Cindy Lerick (of St. Louis) at BOMH conference and the Zapp conference. I am happy for her but sad to loose her in the mid west. She was very willing to help artist. Good luck on your pledge drive. It is a 'no brainer' to support this site!
Thank you, Joyce. I remember meeting you at the Best of Missouri Hands conference in Springfield a few years back. You won a pass to the Zapp conference also, didn't you? I appreciate your support.
I am still a practicing artist and this site is my "go to " for information and support. I may not travel the nation like some of you, but the community of knowledge is priceless. Yes Connie I will pledge. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much, Jeri and Kevin. I spent nearly 30 years in the art fair booth and know the value of a good network and am fortunate to be able to provide this and meet all of you with no wind, no rain nor summer storm swirling around.
Absolutely agree. I have the perspective of a re-emerging artist in that I recently rejoined the art fair circuit after a long hiatus. I did events in late 80's and early 90's. From my perspective, this site provides newbies literally years of experience at a button click. It was unavailable to me 27 yrs ago. This experience and advice has measurable financial value for artist business owners and I'm continually saying to myself "if I only knew then what I know now". In my corporate job I contracted consultants that charged six figure fees for less good advice/info than I've found here. So huge thanks to Connie and staff for providing such an awesome resource! Agree with Jeri - let's all pitch in and keep it going strong.
This site is invaluable to newbies and veterans alike. Let's all keep it alive with a pledge.
Many thanks to you Connie and your staff for providing artist (and viewers) with this resource.
Thank you, Richard. I so much appreciate your support for many years now, not only the $$ but all the show reviews and the helpfulness to others on this website.
