Downtown Glenside Arts Festival – Update

April 22, 2017April 22, 2017 · 2 Comments ·

Hello everybody – due to the threatening weather, I’ve decided not to set up at the festival today.

I hate cancelling out on a show, but I’ve got a new philosophy this year – I’m only doing shows that I like and that are comfortable for me. This show I certainly like, but not while sitting in a series of chilly showers or outright rain all day. I’ve done that for many years! and not any more.

Plus, I have my husband to think of, and I think he’s not in shape to deal with this kind of weather. All in all, it just seems the best thing to do today.

So, next show – Tile Festival at the Moravian Tile Works – in May. I’ll set my sights on that one.

Thanks!

All right, everyone, first show of the 2017 season! This one is held along Easton Road in Glenside, PA (the Cheltenham Township section). I’ll be located in Booth 25 and I’ll be exhibiting my paintings.

Keep your fingers crossed for good weather, if you could…

Downtown Glenside Arts Festival – Take a Look

Yesterday we participated in the festival. First one of the year. The weather held up for us and it was a good day for sales as well.

I want to say thanks to my friends John G, John N, David, and Laura for stopping by to see me. And a shout-out thank you to my friend Martha, who mentioned me to two friends of hers who made a point of seeking me out. I also saw several other neighbors and local people, and I had a chance to talk to some of my art vendor friends as well. I felt very appreciated.

And of course as always I say thank you to everyone who took the time to stop in my booth to look over my work and to talk to me about it.

Here are some pictures of the event in chronological order. I guess every show looks pretty much like any other, but – they each have their own personality and I think if you look, you’ll see what I mean.

We arrived and set our things on the curb. When the street was cleared, we all began our set-up. The tents were in two rows in the middle of the street.

Our booth, set up. My husband (in maroon shirt) and our friend John G, who stopped by to see us, are sitting in front.

Down the street the other way – the food and music area.

Interior of the booth at the beginning of the day.

Now people are arriving at the show. The food area fills up.

At the end of the day, we dismantle the booth. We’re almost ready to leave – just need to get a few more things and take down the tent.

View down the street – where the food area was! All gone.

Our things are back on the curb waiting for us to bring the car around and pack them up. And drive the two miles home!

Heads up, everybody. Next Saturday, April 30, I’ll be participating in this festival with my paintings. I’m in Booth #25, near the center of the fair, if you want to look for me. Show hours are Noon to 6 PM and the fair will be set up along Easton Road.

This show is very local for me – I live about 2 miles away and I come to Glenside pretty much every day. I’ve also depicted the area in lots of paintings over time (you can look for them on my art blog – I think some will come up if you search under the word Glenside), so if the name seems familiar to you, that may be why.
