The Maryland Four Seasons Fine Art and Craft Market and Conventions
The Markets Promoter Bio
Michelle is the promoter of the Fine Art Markets along with her husband, Mark.
They have experience with promoting different types of events since 2005 and their
first sole venture as the Mid-Atlantic Crafter Expo held in January of 2007. Michelle, a craft artist herself, started promoting Fine Art events after seeing first hand how they really aren't juried anymore. Our motto is "Putting ART back into art and craft shows." With shows getting more and more expensive and attendance lower today than in past years, it is obvious something needs to change. Michelle and Mark started the Maryland Four Seasons Fine Art and Craft Market for several reasons:
1. Make shows more affordable for the artists, recognizing a shows progress starts with the artists.
2. Have higher standards for events and do everything possible to enforce rules and regulations.
3. Advertise wisely to a receptive audience of art enthusiasts/collectors of fine art and crafts in various ways.
4. Offer affordable admission with free parking to encourage all to see that fine art and crafts can be affordable and
quality work is worth the price.
5. The location of the event must be easily accessible.
Michelle is also a freelance writer for the Art and Craft Show Yellow Pages and has several articles published in Crafts Report magazine, read one of her artricles below. She also makes her own handmade potpourri and other nature crafts via By the Bay Botanicals. Michelle holds an Associates Degree in Fine Arts, attended Towson University as a Music Major and has been self employed since 2002.
