'Northampton turned out to be my best show this year. What a turn out! Thank you everyone.'
• From Exhibitor Survey

'Thanks for a great show... good sales, many solid leads, approached by galleries and a museum! You’ve assembled a great group of friendly and helpful artists, and cultivated a very savvy and sophisticated audience.'
• from Exhibitor Survey

'The last year has made me much more conscious of the good job you do as show organizers. It has been a pleasure to walk into a Paradise Cityshow knowing that I can rely on your excellent organization, execution and effectiveness. I value the fact that I can trust you to produce a show that maintains its integrity and commitment to our mutual goals. Kudos and thanks!'

'I was fortunate enough to have a long term collector of mine recommend your Marlborough show, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the artists’ work presented as well as the overall appearance of the show itself. I have since considered Paradise City as the mark by which all other shows are measured. I’d consider it a great honor to be included in any show organized and promoted by Paradise City.'
• from Exhibitor Survey

'The Paradise City Arts Festival in Northampton is a very unique show. Most important is the diversity of work there each year. You do a wonderful job of finding new and interesting exhibitors. I particularly enjoy the fine art at the show, and find that it complements my furniture. I am always excited to exhibit my newest work at Paradise City.'

'I just wanted to say how much I am looking forward to my next Paradise City Marlborough. This past November's Marlborough show ended up being my best Paradise City EVER! EVER!! Maybe this is good news for all of us!'
• from 2010 Exhibitor Survey

'I would like to thank Paradise City Staff and the Membership program. We have been very pleased. Since joining the program our web site has received three times the amount of hits that it used to get! The extra exposure from the web page has certainly helped us. We look forward to continuing success with Paradise City.'
• 2010 Exhibitor

'Thank you for all the hard work you put into last weekend’s show. The entire experience was very pleasant. You have thought of everything, from the ease of load-in and the reasonable hours to the ambient music, good food and booth sitters. Your marketing brought in very qualified customers. I didn’t think people shopped right before tax-time but I was wrong. Congrats on such a quality event!'
• from 2010 Exhibitor Survey

'I was really happy with the number of new and qualified buyers you got to the show over the weekend. I have rarely talked so much! Thanks for being great at your jobs; it makes ours a lot better.'
• from 2010 Exhibitor Survey

'There is a level of excellence in the shows that you produce that is unsurpassed by anyone else. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful organization.'
• 2009 Exhibitor

'I really want to thank you for the spectacular job you did on this October show. Organizationally it was smooth and flawless, and I know full well that this does not “just happen”. Your publicity efforts yielded three days of really serious visitors. The show featured a stunning array of beautiful, skillful works. Your jurying/selection process was definitely effective.'
• 2009 Exhibitor

'Thank you for your important and valuable work in founding the amazing and wonderful Paradise City Arts Festivals. Your support and professionalism are stellar.'
• 2009 Exhibitor

'I wanted to repeat the things I said to you in Marlborough. First, I thanked you for the carpeting. You have been carpeting the whole show for years, but has anyone ever thanked you for the gesture? The last year has made me much more conscious of the good job you do as show organizers. It has been a pleasure to walk into a Paradise City show knowing that I can rely on your excellent organization, execution and effectiveness. I value the fact that I can trust you to produce a show that maintains its integrity and commitment to our mutual goals. Kudos and thanks!'
• Fiber Artist

'This was my first ever Paradise City, and I am sending you a big ‘thank you’ for a wonderful experience! Of the hundreds of shows that I have participated in throughout my career, this was by far the most professionally run show. You provided everything an exhibitor could ever need or want (and some extras!). Everyone from the person who set up my ad to the designer of my Paradise City webpage was courteous, helpful and quickly responsive. It is a show I am very proud to be a part of, and I can’t wait for the next one!'
• Painter

'Thank you so much for making it possible to sell my work. You do it best. I love the web pages and your magazine. Thanks for your hard work, and making it fun!!'
• Leather Artist

'I was thrilled to be part of Paradise City. Thank you so much for stopping by my booth and giving me valuable input on my presentation during the Northampton show. I intend to take your suggestions and look forward to seeing you in the fall.'
• Painter

'I just wanted to give you a big thank you for the show publications you put together. Not only are they colorful, and interesting to look at, they definitely put my ad dollars to work. Within 3 days of the publication being mailed I received a call from a woman unfamiliar with my work who ordered 75 pieces for holiday gifts, and even at wholesale that was the easiest $8000 sale I have ever had. Not only do you put on the best show for your customers, you do so much for your artists. Your staff is warm and helpful and doing one of your shows is always a pleasure. Thank you for understanding our needs and making it work so well for everyone.'
• Wood Artist

'Thank you for including us in the Fall Paradise City. We used your mailing service for the first time, and had a huge response.'
• Fiber, Northampton

'Thank you for having me as part of the show last weekend. The boothmates as well as the patrons were so wonderful! (The turnout was appreciated, though the knowledge of the patrons is what caught my attention.) When the people around you (including show staff) are friendly and interested the show goes by so quickly. I appreciate all your efforts and years of hard work to get these shows to the point they are at and feel honored to have been in two so far.'
• Jeweler, Northampton

'I want to thank you once again for putting together two great shows this fall. Both Northampton and Marlborough exceeded my expectations! In my opinion, you are the best at putting together a visually compelling show, at marketing the show to the public, and at treating your artists respectfully. Much credit to you for all of that.'
• 2D Mixed Media Artist

'I began receiving emails, phone calls and actual orders as soon as the Paradise City Guide arrived in the mailboxes of Paradise City customers. The link between my ad in the magazine and my web page in the online Artists Showcase was especially valuable.'
• Jeweler, Marlborough

'We had an awesome show, our best here yet - strong, enthusiastic sales all weekend. Loved the live jazz - it kept our energy level up! Wish all our shows had such a supportive customer base. Thanks for all your hard work getting them here.'
• Photographer, Marlborough

'This is a great show! We felt the quality and variety of the artists was exceptional and very much enjoyed being part of PCAF. We are looking forward to joining everybody again at future shows!'
