Additional comments:
If you seen photos of the event, usually, it's people packing the street, but that doesn't always translate into sales. It was strange how so few people bought, and looking at my neighbors, it was the same: disappointment. A town with plenty of money, yet spends so little on art. It's one of those quintessential cattle-calls where people are looking to get from point a to point b. There were a lot of non-artist vendors who were selling reproductions and one selling CBD. I have to say that I've done a lot better at events less than a tenth of it's size, which is probably why the event isn't recognizable on a national level.
