Hot Works Fine Art and Craft Shows have been recognized 18 times by national magazines and artist organizations as one of the “Top 100 Art Shows In America”. Artists who know us well call us “family”.

We know how busy you are and it’s our goal to make the application process easy so that you can get back to work making art! Returning artists (5 shows in 3 years) may bypass the jury process with just a phone call! We also provide you with a “Fly and Show” display rental option for all those artists who come from other states or just don’t have the time or energy to set up a Light Dome tent and Pro-Panels to hang your art…. We do it for you!

THE HOT WORKS DIFFERENCE

From the moment you drive up to a Hot Works show, you can see the difference. We really care and our goal is to make your show experience pleasant and successful. We do everything possible to make it easy!

Our show locations are selected for their proximity to affluent neighborhoods, million-dollar condos, and five-star resorts in Boca Raton and Sarasota, Florida. After 20 years, our flagship Orchard Lake Fine Art Show in West Bloomfield Michigan draws the second generation of new art patrons.

At some of our shows, you’ll drive right up and park directly behind your booth giving you access to additional work all weekend long. If you’re flying in you can pre-order a rented Light Dome tent, Pro-Panel walls, or jewelry cases.

Our team will greet you with a smile, chilled water, snacks, and the support you need to make your show experience financially successful.

ADVERTISING & MARKETING

When the show opens you’ll discover the benefits of a high-level marketing and advertising campaign. Every show draws the most affluent art patrons in the region. From TV commercials, radio, newspaper articles, road signage, banners, digital and social media advertising, and email blasts to our huge list of quality art patrons.

THE SEARCH FOR A GREAT SHOW

How do you know a show is good for you?  The answer is in the number of returning artists. Twenty years after our first show launched… we’ve learned how to promote and produce shows that keep artists returning year after year.

QUALITY & AUTHENTICITY

Artists rely on us for keeping out the buy/sell and import fraud. Our juried selection process is supplemented by interviews, references, and raw materials supplier information to assure our patrons and artists of quality. The quality and authenticity of the art presented are important to us. When there’s any question, we deal with it!

OUR HISTORY

Over the past two decades, we’ve grown a large list of loyal patrons and developed successful marketing strategies and partnerships that attract a wide range of affluent, buying patrons to our shows. It’s the reason why so many of our exhibiting artists return year after year to Hot Works shows.
