Grape Moments Studios & Artisan Shows - Fine & Contemporary Paintings and Artisan Show Productions
If you are a vendor or craftsman of the arts that is seeking a show venue that exemplifies a "TRUE ARTISAN PLATFORM", than this is the place for you.  As the Executive Director for this showcase, a veteran of 13+ years as a show vendor for fine art paintings and the opportunity of working with non-profits for the past 6 years in the area of show productions, I am able to have a total cross-sectioining approach to understanding vendors needs while creating a show vision to the public of what art at every level is and enriching their visions.  Read below to find out more of the pluses and reasons that make this a show you will want to become a part ofit all.

      The "NAPLES SPRING ARTISAN SHOWCASE"  began in 2009 as a fundraiser for the "Bristol Valley Theater".  The first year of the event hosted over 80+ artisans from all areas of the United States, food vendors, music and 6 local wineries participating in a wine tasting and bottle sales and an Artists' Raffle Tent.  With beautiful weather and a perfect start to the beginnings of the show season we were pleased to introduce a "preimere event" attended by over 2500 visitors.  Participating vendors reported sales averaging $500 - $2500.  These are remarkable statistics for a first year introduction, and a turbulent year of economic disasters.
       The vendor survey comments as well as the feedback of attendess were astounding and their hopes that the showcase would return again in 2010 and beyond.
