local art festivals

January 9, 2012 2 Comments

The hubby is a ceramic artist so we do a handful of art festivals a year. We did one this weekend which is always one of our favorites. It has such a great turnout of artists and people so it always makes for a fun weekend. The hubby won first place in the ceramics category and I am so proud of him. Here are a few of the highlights for us…

We actually purchased two medium size photographs from Paul Shatz. Loved his work and that they are silver gelatin prints.

I was coveting some of the jewelry pieces from Hampel Design. Her booth was next to ours and she was so sweet. She won first place in the jewelry category and it was very well deserved.

We love Michel Delgado. Art can be very subjective but we have one of his smaller pieces we bought a few years ago and can’t wait to purchase a larger one.

I really liked Daphne Covington’s pieces. The hubby wasn’t on board but I might scout out one of hers for myself soon.

Do you try and make it to the art festivals in your area? My favorite part is that you don’t have to spend a ton of cash either. Almost every booth had small ticket items for sale to help build up a an original art collection for any budget.

    i looove going! i love to go by myself though and just meander at my own pace, and i like to not think about what those around me like and just see what i like, without the opinion of friends or family. 🙂 it makes it more fun to me! these are all beautiful finds! love the paintings and the jewelry!
