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,"
