are you a vendor? this is my second year, and i'm seeing a big difference in the fine art fairs and the more casual festival/fair with art, fine crafts (not country crafts) and music. it seems no one is buying at the fine art fairs. People seem to buy more at the festivals.
any similar experiences? is it the economy? the younger crowd?
I just did a fine art fair at an upscale outdoor mall. it was depressing to see more people walking around with bags from the box stores than bags from the vendors. it was depressing...
