It has come to my attention that Amy Amdur will be producing the Joliet Art Fair taking place in downtown Joliet on Saturday June 30, and Sunday July 1. It is a juried show and carries with it an entry fee of $350.00. It is my opinion that this fee, especially for a first such show in Joliet for quite sometime and with an uproven attendence and buying record, to be outlandish. To date I have contacted City Councilmen Joe Shetina, and Tim Brophy to voice my feelings about this matter. In addition I have talked at length with an artist/painter who I've know for over 15 years, and who makes a living from her art. It is her opinion that Amy Amdur is not much more than a MONEY GRABBER who charges BIG FEES to be in the shows she puts on, but doesn't give much back to the artist. In addition said artist can attest to the fact that Amy Amdur has been booted out of art fairs that she started due to sentiments voiced by particpating artists for the above mentioned reasons.Having said that I'm only sharing my feelings and what I've learned by speaking with others. Should you choose to enter then you do so at your expense and risk!
