We asked the artists at the 2014 Barrington Art Festival…. What do you like best about the Barrington Art Festival and Amdur Productions? And here’s what they had to say:
“Thank you for everything. Barrington was a wonderful an initiation into Chicagoland. I had a fantastic show. You do a fabulous job. I look forward to many more shows with you in the future. See you in Highland Park. Thanks” ~ Sharon Tesser
“Beautiful show, thank you! Each year keeps getting stronger. Traffic was great, sales were awesome and the community is wonderful. This is a show that local people support it, they come out to buy art. Thank you Amdur productions and team, you are the best!” ~Carla Bank
“Thank YOU, Lisa and staff… you all work so hard and take such good care of us all. I’m so glad I chose Amdur Productions for my shows my very first year. It was a great experience and I look forward to much more! I enjoyed the entire weekend and the artist party Saturday night… My helper and I were so grateful for the many little touches throughout the weekend. Amdur staff checking to see if we were doing fine… EggHarbor people making the rounds to make sure we were well fed… Coffee people and others offering discounts and making sure we knew they were there.” ~ Dorothy Bury Shaw
“It was a pleasure doing this first fair with you and I’m looking forward to the others I’m signed up for this season.” ~ Martin Antaramian
“Thank You, We had a great time in Barrington. Very much appreciated the patrons coming out and supporting the Arts. Thank you to Amy and her great Staff.” ~ Karen and Dennie Heuton
“Thank you Amy and Amdur Staff for a great show! We had a fantastic time and are looking forward to seeing you all again in Grant Park in a few short weeks.” ~ Robert C. Sanford
