ArtFairCalendar.com and ArtFairInsiders.com wish to pay our respects to an important member of the art fair community, Greg Lawler, photographer and the creator of the Art Fair SourceBook.

My husband, photographer Norm Darwish, and I started in the art fair business in 1978. Shortly thereafter we met Greg Lawler, another one of the photographers. We did many shows together. In those days artists had two ways of finding "the good shows". Sunshine Artist magazine had an extensive list of shows around the country, but the best way to find them was asking another exhibitor ... networking was the solution.

There was great consternation when Sunshine Artist started publishing their "200 Best." We said to each other, "this is really bad, now everyone will know where the good shows are." Then ZAPPlication came along ... oh, no! now even more artists will know where the good ones are! More competition in an already competitive business.

In stepped Greg, becoming the creator, editor and publisher of Art Fair SourceBook. He put together a business to survey all the shows and publish show reviews. How in the world he did that before the Internet and email really got rolling is a wonder. It makes me weary to think about it. He actually published books and then spent years traveling to art fairs, in and out of thousands of art fair tents, hand selling those wonderful guides to artists.

Luckily the Internet came along and he was able to move his business online ... and the cost of printing the books went down, but did that slow him down? Of course not, he continued to help artists earn a living and created the first online discussion for artists. It was a lifesaver before Facebook came around.

Now though after the Covid disruption to small businesses everywhere, soaring new software costs and the loss of his longtime research assistant and customer support partner, Barbara Jean Yankee he will be retiring.

His love song to the art festival life:

• I’m grateful to the more than 20,000 artists who supported the AFSB with their subscriptions over the past 32 years.
• I’m proud to have helped artists map out successful art fair strategies and schedules.
• I cherish the countless artist friends I’ve made over the years, the 500 art fairs I schlepped through, the exercise I got doing so, and the 2 million miles I’ve flown to bring the SourceBook to you these past 32 years.
• I’m thankful to have supported a family of five and put three kids through college, thanks to the AFSB’s success.
• I’m a bit sad to leave the art fair world behind after more than 35 years as both an exhibiting artist and editor/publisher of the SourceBook.

I'm quoting Greg here because his words echo those of us who have retired from one of the best jobs in America, bringing our creative work to all the people who flock to meet us (yes, you are part of the attraction), and enabling us to live free and challenging lives.

Many thanks to Greg for all he has done to help us earn a living, his kindnesses through the years. I hope to see you on the road again.

The Sourcebook will continue to be available until the end of 2025, so hurry over there for the info while it is still there.

The Mulvane Art Fair has been an annual favorite among artists and art appreciators since 1992. During this two-day event, thousands of people visit the beautiful grounds of Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas. In 2025, the 31st annual juried event will feature more than 85 artists from across the country and will draw thousands of art lovers. With a focus on quality and variety, the fine art event is a favorite in the community and region. Proceeds from the event support the mission and programs of the Mulvane Art Museum, which is Topeka's only art museum and is on the Washburn University campus. High standards for art are key to the success of the 2025 Mulvane Art Fair.

The Mulvane Art Fair has a robust patron program with art buyers who purchased $45,000+ from participating artists in 2024. Jurors will select up to 90 artists from those who apply.

We had a large number of first-time artists in 2024 (over 39% new), so we are hoping to extend that into this year's entries. We have revamped our patron program with better benefits and expanded overall marketing in areas of the event.

"I think this year (2024) was the best ever! Everything was easy to understand and follow. The board did a fantastic job with communications. The move out process was easy and sales were better than average. I also appreciate the on-campus housing option." ~exhibiting artist from 2024 (anonymous artist survey)
