Mary Ahern- Art Naturally had a
\nSuccessful First Time Showing at the Connecticut Flower and Garden Show<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2007  CT Flower and Garden Show moved to the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford CT. We never showed at this venue before so this was a new experience for us.<\/p>\n

We brought our Traveling Art Festival Gallery to this exciting and very popular event and we’re sure glad we did.
\nThe promised crowd of over 30,000 people showed up and at times, I felt as if I got to speak to each and every one of those winter starved gardeners.<\/p>\n

This 4 day event has very long hours. Evenings until 8 each session. Did I mention very long days?<\/p>\n

I’m glad that I brought my new bamboo director’s chair even though there were many hours I never got to touch it except to put my coffee in the cup holder.<\/p>\n

The new lighting inside our Gallery worked just as we hoped so next time we’ll probably add the same system to the outside wall. The color correct lighting really makes a difference when showing Art.<\/p>\n

As you can see, we’ve added new furniture to the Gallery and it makes writing up orders and taking information so much easier. Drawers in the desk really help me stay organized and the wood adds a nice sleek and solid look.<\/p>\n

The racks on the outside of the Gallery were less than successful and we’re looking into alternative systems to show the small prints.<\/p>\n
