Testimonials
"Lots of customers and they came to buy! Very well organized and great communication by Webster Arts organization. Volunteers were terrific! Easy load in and load out."
"I can not believe how many people were there to help us out from setting up tents, bringing water and snacks, and checking on us to see if we needed a booth sitter. And then the basic set up of the fair was so nice - the isles were wide, signs made it easy to see how it was laid out, having food trucks with plenty of tables under a canopy, and various musicians to entertain the crowd (the music wasn't too loud either!). I can't believe how many people said this was their favorite fair - especially this year. They said that the variety and quality of artwork available this year was amazing.
Everyone was so nice - I am glad I was part of it."

Park Forest, Illinois
The Village Green and along Main Street
Presented by Tall Grass Arts Association
Saturday & Sunday 10am-5pm
80 Artists
Deadline: May 8
Application fee: $35 Booth fee: $175
The Park Forest Art Fair is the second oldest, continuously juried fine art fair in the Chicagoland region. This fall, ArtFairCalendar.com conducted its 9th annual "Best Art Fair in America" survey and the Park Forest Art Fair was voted one of the Top 5 Small Town Art Fairs in the country.
The fair features 80+ artists exhibiting in a range of media from painting, pastels, print-making and photography to glass, ceramics, fiber, jewelry and wood. Several of the artists have exhibited continuously for nearly four decades. Other, newer artists, are returning from as far away as Florida and California. A long-standing tradition at the Park Forest art fair, one that is loved by all of the artists, is that fair-attendees stop and chat with the artists.
Testimonials:
- "I had the pleasure to be an artist at the Park Forest Art Fair put on
by the wonderful volunteers of the Tall Grass Arts Association. This show was an artist's dream - the volunteers take such good care of the artists from making sure we had water all day long and booth sitters for bathroom breaks. On top of that, we had bagels, juice, coffee and yogurt both mornings and to top it off the volunteers put on a wonderful dinner Saturday night. But I have to say the thing that impressed me the most is this show runs like a well-oiled machine and it's all done with volunteers and donations, not some big promoter. In closing I have to give this art fair an A+ and I would recommend it to anyone that likes being treated like a guest. I also have to thank the people from Park Forest and surrounding areas for coming out to see the show." Janet Hubbard, Oak Creek, WI
- "Thank you for your many many many efforts. It really is a wonderful show. I've done plenty of shows in the city and affluent north suburbs but none of them can compare to the ease, loyalty and support that the Park Forest Art Fair offers. I have always said it feels like coming home." Jennifer Meyer, Lansing, IL
- "We were so happy with our sales this year, we were practically giddy! Having a great show at Park Forest really made our summer!! Thank you for all you do!" The Pottery Boys, Blue Island, IL
There is a music fest on Saturday hosted by the village of Park Forest

Wow, I won! Thank you Connie and all who donated prizes to the pledge drive.
sugarloaf somerset -- booth 527. come over and say hi if you are exhibiting as well.
Working @ the salon til 3 hope to make time to design a few more jewelry pieces, have really good Idea for a silk cord bracelet and necklace...and my next painting is going to be Sunset over Poppy Fields, its a picture I found taken in France on the edge of a vineyard, Gorgeous sunset cant wait to start it!
Well, I finally have the website up and running. Now just need to get lots of "stuff" to put on it both for sale and for looking at and hopefuly, it will generate business. The website is drakesneststudios.com. I'm still learning the ins and outs of it so be patient. Any and all suggestions will be welcomed. I do know that I have to go in and remove the pictures, make them smaller and figure out out to do thumnails, which I think would even be nicer so that you can see a lot and enlarge when you wish.
Did my bit, such as it is, to help celebrate the birthday of our wonderful site by becoming a contributor. With all the talent, the show listings, the help, the mentors, the teachers and the fun, I can't think of a more worth-while cause.
Be back later with more "stuff" as I get it together. Spent all day Monday painting my studio to the point that on Tuesday, I could barely more . Hopefully, I'll be getting paneling to put up on the wall so I can get the wood flooring and carpeting down and then the cabinets up and then I'll be ready to move everything in! Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!! Will post pictures when have the debree neatened up a little. ~2~
This is a different type of art, performing arts, but thought I'd mention it. I am doing a stage production at Alpena Civic Theatre in Alpena, Michigan that is being put on like an old radio show. It is a tribute, of sorts, to the wonderful days of radio mystery theatre. There will be acts with Ellery Queen and Periot, just to name a few. Should be fun - no make up, no costumes, no lines to memorize, just sound effects, reading in character and lots and lots of fun!
More later - Terri at the Drake's Nest in beautiful Ossineke, Michigan
I think I found most of the bugs on the website and have those fixed, a few still need ironing out. I have also started a blog which will show things in progress, such as fiber art, photographs, what I'm up to, where I'll be, studio updates, etc. That leaves the website for doing business and special event items.
I'd appreciate a little input/thoughts on what you wonderful people think and any suggestions. Please keep in mind that I have not put anything in for purchase as yet as I'm still working out pricing and how to do Pay Pal, for example. My website is: www.drakesneststudios.com and the blog is www.drakesneststudios.wordpress.com. Let me know if you have any problems accessing either site so that I can get those bugs worked out as well.
Thanks a million ladies and gentlemen, your comments, suggestions and encouragement are appreciated more than you know.
