wells street art festival recap
A big THANK YOU to everyone who visited my booth at the Wells Street Art Festival. The fest was a huge success and seeing all your enthusiasm and appreciation for my art meant the world to me!
I did over 45 transactions on Saturday. I Love My City 11×14 paper prints sold out and over half of my paintings were purchased. By the end of the day I was absolutely exhausted but I was thrilled with the positive response my art received and how many people took a piece of it home with them. The next day was a bit calmer, but I was still overwhelmed with the turnout and all the friends and family who stopped by to support me.
From the beginning, Marc has always been the biggest supporter of my art. His help, positive attitude and hard work during the fest did not go unnoticed. I am so grateful for him! I’m also so thankful for my friends Frank and Cassi, my cousins Chris and Michelle and my parents who all spent time helping us set up or take down my booth. These fairs are definitely a team effort!
During the fest, I felt really tied to my booth. And although I didn’t have a chance to network with the other artists, it’s always great meeting new people, selling my paintings and getting my name out there! Just being accepted into this festival was a success for me.
On Sunday night, we took down the booth in record time and headed straight home to bed. The next day we went to Yolk for a celebratory brunch. There were a lot of late nights leading up to the fest and long days during so it was such a relief it was over!
This week and last have been catch up weeks with emails and online orders and slowly building back up my inventory of paintings for the next fair – August 24th and 25th I’m participating in the Bucktown Arts Fest in Chicago. Bucktown is an excellent arts fair that has been going on for years. I attended this fest last year and it’s a great showcase of all the local Chicago artists. So mark it on your calendars! Then three weeks after the Bucktown Arts Fest I’m heading over to Lakeview for the Lakeview East Festival of the Arts. That’s on September 14th and 15th on Chicago’s north side. Check out their website for more information! I’ve participated in this fair for the past two years and it is awesome!

Share on Twitterchicago’s wells street art festival this weekend
Sorry I’ve been a little absent lately. I have been working like crazy.
This Saturday and Sunday I’ll be selling my artwork at the Wells Street Art Festival here in Chicago. The last few weeks have been pretty hectic but I thrive on the pressure. We are trying to do a million things at once. Marc has been planning the set up of the booth and its going to look better than ever this year and I’ve been painting non stop. I’ll be bringing 40+ original pieces of art to the fest this weekend. On Tuesday I picked up a large batch of prints from the printmaker and they look amazing! I’ll have three different sizes available and frames will be optional too.
The Wells Street Art Festival is on Wells Street between North Avenue and Division. The fest starts at 10 am and closes at dusk. I’m booth 301 (closer to Division) so stop by and say hello! I’ll also be posting photos over here if you want to see more/follow along. It’s going to be a great fair with over 250 artists – check out more details here!
Later this summer I’ll be participating in the Bucktown Arts Festival on August 24th and 25th and the Lakeview East Festival of the Arts on September 14th and 15th so please mark your calendars and stay tuned.
