Call for Artists

I have a quick question...Should I be nervous about applying to a show that was just listed in Call For Artists and the show date is very soon?I worry that it is a first time show or there is something questionable about the event. But, then I might be just overthinking the "why are the still seeking exhibitors" factor.If you have any input...I would love to hear it.I am trying to fill some empty spots in my calendar...and am so curious if I should just "bite the bullet" and try some of these…See More

Hi Cheryl,

 I'm so glad you did well at the Ludington show.  I loved it too. Where else will you be this summer?  Yesterday my husband and I walked the Sutton's Bay show and the Bay Harbor show.  Of the two, I'm thinking Sutton's Bay might be a better fit for me.  I'll be in Frankfurt in a couple of weeks, then Lowell, then I'm done for awhile.
