Artfest International, Inc. Increases Revenues by 748% for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 as Compared to the Same Period in 2009

Marketwire "Press Releases "
DALLAS, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/24/10 --
Artfest International, Inc. (OTCBB: ARTS) is pleased to announce that the Company has generated $1,424,412 in operating revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $167,885 in operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009, which is an increase of 748%. Artfest International, Inc. also reported a gross profit of $834,124 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus $166,885 for the same period in 2009. The increase in operating revenue is due to the increased sales of art and sports memorabilia through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Charity Sports Distributor, as well as through events held at Artfest International's 52,000 square foot facility in Dallas, Texas, and direct sales activity through its Art Channel, Inc. and Art Channel Galleries, Inc. subsidiaries.

Based on Artfest's direct sales model, combined with the acquisition of CSD, ArtChannel Galleries increased its sales due to the addition of sports and memorabilia territory rights, which created sales to its new members during the second quarter. CSD, which accounted for more than half of Artfest International's second quarter revenue, is a vertically integrated custom framing company that specializes in the design, production and distribution of authentic framed autographed sports and entertainment collectibles and art pieces. CSD's distribution channels include business to business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2C) sales, charity fundraising auctions, professional and college sports teams' pro shops, e-stores, online auctions and a revolutionary in-game silent auction concept known as Home Game Auction.


Artfest recently announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Art Channel TV, has moved its production, master control and broadcast operations to Maximedia Studios. Maximedia is one of the leading television and recording production facilities in the Dallas area. Art Channel TV will now be operating out of a 33,000 square foot facility, which will help meet the future demands as the Company is in various stages of production of various projects such as "Thomas Kinkade's Impressions of Israel Collection" and "Rhupert TV." Maximedia Studios has an impressive list of clients from "American Idol" to the Jonas Brothers and Mariah Carey, Kenny Chesney, Shakira, and Sister Hazel.


"We are excited about the progress that Artfest has made during the first six months of this year and we look forward to continuing to increase shareholder value through sales and key acquisitions," stated Edward Vakser, CEO of Artfest International, Inc.
