My second year participating at Appleton's Art at the Park wrapped up this past weekend. The weather was stifling on Saturday with high temps and high humidity which I could tell affected turnout that first day. Traffic was still OK but not as brisk as last year.
Another weather-related impact were the storms that rolled in Saturday night. The show was supposed to run from 9-6 on Saturday but the committee made the wise decision to end at 4:30. By 6:00 high winds and rain were hitting City Park in Appleton. Luckily I had no damage to my display or tent. Some other artists were not so fortunate :(
On Sunday I dried out in the morning with the help of a couple of other photographers I know who were nice enough to help me out over the weekend. The weather was beautiful and turnout was great. I sold many small prints, a couple books, and small framed pieces. Overall I did not fare as well as I did in 2021 and I think the current state of the economy had something to do with that. I had no sales of larger 16x20 framed prints like I did last year. I did see many sales of my "City Scene" print and I wish I had brought more of those!
I now start the process of printing and putting together my display for Green Bay's Art Street at the end of August. I'm looking forward to getting out there again!
