We cannot say <br />exactly how many actually showed up with any great accuracy. I can say from experience, having <br />run such an event during four different years, that this past event in May 2023 was highly <br />successful in terms of public turnout. The Firehouse Arts Center location was very well attended <br />due to the proximity of the location to the farmers market and the closing of Main Street for the <br />monthly “first weekend” event. That location had artists demonstrating throughout the day. As far <br />as art sales go… which is not always a fantastic measure of “Success”… Several thousands of <br />dollars in sales were made. At my location, my private home studio where we had five artists, we <br />were busy from the moment we opened until we closed. Only a few of the venues reported a low <br />public turnout at certain times of the day - and those were single/two artists in private homes. <br />And we are addressing that issue and hoping to encourage the public to visit more smaller <br />venues using a variety of incentives - to include fine art giveaways, adding more scheduled <br />demos, talks, etc. <br />With the grant money provided to us now we are able to expand our publicity to include <br />Attachment 2
