We’re excited to be participating in our first in-person event - the Art on Lark Festival in Albany, New York on June 21, 2008. That is where our offices are based out of, with our inventory and shipping coming out of Central Pennsylvania. If you are in the Albany area or nearby, be sure to visit the festival and our booth, it is a really good time (I’ve attended the past 5!).
Art on Lark is a day to celebrate the vibrant and exciting arts scene that Albany has. While you walk down the sidewalks, enjoy the city’s biggest art exhibit while listening to this region’s up & coming musicians and watching a daring new dance performance. Lark Street itself will be transformed into a giant visual and performing arts center for the day.
For the last 11 years in June, Art on LarkArt Lark! transforms the streets of the Lark Street Neighborhood into an open-air art gallery with over 100 artist displays and live art demonstrations. The family friendly, festive atmosphere is enhanced with musicians and a series of hands on programs that enable adults and children alike, to create their own works of art. The reputation and attendance of this exciting arts event continues to grow, currently to 10,000 festival goers. This year, Art on Lark! is proud to partner once again with the Upstate Artists Guild to present the People’s Choice Awards, a non-juried art show. In addition, the Sidewalk Art Competition will be added to the day’s festive events.

I always encourage my art students to go to these type of events to promote their artwork. it is great to me other artists, get used to having your work on public display. And since it is not a real gallery they usually feel more comfortable and actually get used to taking to people about their art.
Wish we could attend we are on the west coast, but have a good event!
I did digg this article though so others in your area might be informed about it.
