"Interesting, he has not returned any of my emails, that explains it I guess.. I'm an auto in with an award last year, and had some questions going unanswered. Like JAS does not show my ap going in, as I do not have to pay the jury fee. Booth…"
Jay McDougall replied to Paula C. Boggan's discussion Question for artists applying to shows
"I love ZAPP and JAS. For those of us who are on the road an awful lot it's the only way to go. We can keep track of our apps and apply anytime, anywhere."
Jay McDougall replied to Jan Gussin's discussion American Craft Expo
"Proceed with caution. This show does maintain a very good reputation (3rd behind Phil and Smith by my measure) for fine craft. I did it in 2010 and am not even applying this year. The demographic is predominantly old female. If you sell wearable…"

Sausalito?
Anyone know what's going on in Sausalito? I just sent off some information to update my virtual gallery with them and got an automatic "Out of Office" message from director Patrick Roberts. The message said he is no longer with the festival. Looked at their contact page and all of the staff position listings are: TBA. Kind of bad timing with the app deadline less than a week away.See More

Leslie Jensen said… Hi Jay. It's nice to meet you! I saw your work in Sausalito and it was wonderful. I loved a particular long wooden bowl you had on display. I didn't notice then that you are a fellow Minnesotan.
My husband, Brian, is the show artist and painter. I am a graphic designer and help him with art fairs, his web site, and business tasks. At the fairs, I have more time to meet other artists, see the work and review the show, so I have been blogging on this site as an art fair insider. I hope we see you again next season.

Jay McDougall said… - Wow! I think this is the best work I've ever seen in the Wood category. You should get into every show that you apply to.
