2011 Artist Testimonials


"I'd have to say this NYC show is really off to a great start. The 2nd year was like a show from the good old days when it was worth the trip! The buyers were from all over, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I look forward to a 3rd year."
Valerie Bunnell | MA | Mixed Media

"The javits show worked out for me, i think it has a lot of potential, just keep the quality up and the show will take care of itself."
Woodrow Nash | OH | Sculpture

"The quality of the artists' work was even stronger this year, and once again I had multiple pieces sell. In addition, I had two gallery owners come through and offer me solo shows to exhibit my work in areas I would not have otherwise considered. This show remains one the best values for an independent artist to show work in NYC in an art fair setting."
Bob Clyatt | NY | Ceramics

"This show has a lot going for it. Great venue and easier load-in than anticipated, a profitable time of year, a hard-working promoter who knows how to get the job done, the price is right and the location - it's New York City!! Only two years in and the public is responding, a small crowd but one that is buying. Using my mailing list helped my sales. I believe that the crowd will grow and the show will flourish."
Loretta Lam | NY | Jewelry

"I think you are doing the right thing–both shows together, affordable for artists, you got good quality exhibitors, we can all build traffic on that. I thought the live model drawing class was a hoot–what a way to keep the husbands interested!
I did better than at a lot of other shows!"
Carol Hearty | NY | Leather

"Thank you for the wonderful experience. You did a superb job organizing the Javits event and especially thoughtful of you to bring in serious gallery curation through joint effort with Robert Curcio for the FineArt portion of the Fair. Thank you!"
Sofia Bachvarova | NJ | Mixed Media
