Some great interactions with guests, and great feedback from interesting art lovers. Nice visit from the mayor of West Chester and other amazing opportunities arose during the weekend.

My County Collector was sold first thing on Saturday morning, as a collector came in especially to purchase it. She had seen it in the catalog.

Catalogs worked as well as signs. I’m so grateful to be a part of such a fun and well run community event. It’s totally amazing! Thanks for providing this fantastic opportunity!

HOW TO APPLY
ON-LINE TO SHOWS
With a few clicks of the mouse you can be showing in any town, any state across the United States. Starting with the basics we’ll break down image preparation and formatting, from CMYK to RGB then onto DPI. Not sure what all those acronyms are? That’s why we are starting from the beginning. Once we have the basics then we’ll address taking the best booth shot and applying to the best shows. After this lecture you’ll be impressing jurors and buyers with the knowledge you’ve gained and showing more of your art.
EXPLORE LOCAL ART
We invite friends, families, art enthusiasts, and the curious to experience and meet a variety of outstanding artists as they exhibit their work during this two-day event. This unique and intimate opportunity creates a free, unlimited access to the artists, and a clearer understanding of our stories and creative processes.
