2026I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for another great show. From load-in to load-out, everything ran smoothly. I know you put a lot of thought and organization into making that happen, and as an exhibitor, it makes a real difference, and it's appreciated.
Photographer Glenn Lewis on the Barrington Art Festival
Your staff were fantastic, as always, and you brought in a good crowd. It's always a pleasure to share my work with engaged, enthusiastic visitors, and that starts with everything you all do to make your shows such a joy to attend.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

2026We just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for such a wonderful experience at the Barrington Art Festival this weekend. We truly appreciated the booth placement and all of your support throughout the event. Being able to park our truck next to the booth during breakdown was incredibly helpful, especially with the size of our display and artwork. Thank you so much for accommodating us. We ended up having a great show and were so grateful to be part of such a beautiful festival... Thank you again for everything you and the Amdur team do for artists. We cannot wait to apply again next year!

Email, December 2022Amdur has been instrumental in getting me started and I really appreciate the webinars and feedback. Thank you for all you do, especially for the individual help which has been part of my journey since I started glass back in 2019. The Chicago shows I was part of in 2020 were the first art shows I had ever done and you made the process easy.

Thank you,

Art Fair Insiders, October 25, 2022I turned 77 today.
Thought I would write a great blog.
This is going to be one of my last four blogs.
I am retiring from blogging after 10 years doing it.
Will you miss me?
This is an Amy Amdur show held on Labor Day weekend in a great location.
The Third Ward is right downtown. Full of happening retail and bars and restaurants. Lots of young people everywhere.
My best bud, Jim Wilbat--outstanding glass artist-- has done the show for about three years. So I tried it for the first time.
A welcome addition to my show schedule.
We were able to park in a lot and dolly right to our booths.
Friday setup with weekend show.
Held on street pavement, plenty of storage space behind.
The Amdur team are pros, everything flowed smoothly.
We actually had nippy weather both days, I was in a long sleeve pullover both days.
Small shows, well under 130 artists.Noticed I said artists, not vendors. Enough said.
Lots of well dressed patrons, and they spent money on art, what a concept.
Saturday was a Lowend day, barely did $1.5 K. Mostly prints out of the bins.
Sunday was different. Sold lots of framed work. Saw lots of others float by my booth.
People were very engaged. Got asked lots of questions about my work, how refreshing.
The show is a winner, will gladly do it again.
