What Artists Say About AFSB
"I need time to focus on building my inventory of art to sell. AFSB's website with the Diamond Service helps me keep track of show dates, application deadlines, and even helps in deciding when to cancel shows as inventory is sold/low. I get distracted easily, it's nice being able to navigate info using one source. If the show has a website, the information I need is typically spread all over ... and I can't be spending hours looking at fascinating photos while I'm looking for prior day setup, electricity, or simply the dates of the show. The websites are laid out 100 different ways, just having all the websites listed reliably is a HUGE help. Thanks Greg for providing this service and continually improving and streamlining it.
At my high prices, my client base needs to be impressed with how far I'm going to spread the word about my work. AFSB allows me to search for and plan shows to do on the way out and the way back from top shows all the way across the country; I can say "yes" to a show three or four days away, because I'm doing three top shows with a total of 9 days travel."

What Event Organizers Say About AFSB
"Hi Greg! Thank you so much for all of your help with our jury process for Festival 2019. This year I actually dropped one of the companies who sends out calls to artists and put all of my eggs in the AFSB basket. Our Finance Director even came and asked me if I was sure about this decision as we have heard so many art festivals are losing applicants. I am delighted to tell you that we exceeded the number of applications over prior years. I am always so grateful for your professional advice and support. I honestly believe that much of La Quinta’s success can be attributed to you. With much appreciation,"
