"I agree with Geoff and David. We need to be respectful and professional in presenting the issue to the promoters. There is always the chance that the promoter will do nothing but I think most of them want to have a great show with…"

Katherine Graham Sarlson commented on Carol Larsen's blog post "Vendor Behavior"

"Yep, there are definitely a fair number of divas out there. I see that a lot as well. We're all trying to set up (or tear down, as the case may be), and we ALL want to get out of there as expediently as possible. "

"Argh - politics are anathema! It's tough to be polite when someone starts in on 'em. A couple of tactful attempts at changing the subject aren't always met graciously. That's usually when I smile and say…"

Katherine Graham Sarlson commented on Wendy Zumpano's blog post The aches and pains and hurt feelings of being an artist

"Good point Diana. I will tell you that my stock answer to anyone who asks is that a show is always "great." If it is a truly wretched show, the answer might be "it's a little slow." I don't always know…"

""Medium envy" is great. Good points were made by a variety of posters. I too feel like Wendy. As a silk painter it's tough not to look over at the jewelry beehives of activity without a little envy. My sales…"

Katherine Graham Sarlson commented on Connie Mettler's blog post Call for Artists: By Hand in Cleveland

"Actually, I'm curious about that too. It has the potential to be a fantastic show but I think I just may have tried before some of the kinks were worked out."

Katherine Graham Sarlson commented on Michelle Wermuth's blog post Does this offend you?

"I think most of us have to maintain a good sense of humour, else that peach colored slice of the pie would get a lot bigger. As the cartoon points out, the chart applies to just about any vocation."

Katherine Graham Sarlson commented on David Bjurstrom's blog post Shows competing against their own artists in the name of charity...

"Even better, there's a well established show in my area that requires all participating artists to donate a piece to their raffle and they suggest the minimum amount of $50. The raffle is held on-site at the outdoor art show, which, IMHO,…"

Katherine Graham Sarlson commented on Corey Johnston's blog post Living With Wearable Art

"I am a creator of wearable art (I am a silk painter) and non-wearable art and do try to wear my own work, especially in professional settings. That being said, I do not wear my hand painted silk scarves to art shows. I prefer not to get…"

Katherine Graham Sarlson commented on Michelle Wermuth's blog post I can be taught!

"Just sayin'... I generally tune out all of the "money chatter" by other artists and I don't share my sales information as a matter of personal policy. Also, I've found that artists who stand around wailing and gnashing…"

Katherine Graham Sarlson commented on Corey Johnston's blog post Sales and Christmas

"Good grief, these people are insane! I would not trade the few dollars saved for the aggravation, exhaustion and sheer crabbiness that would set upon me from all of the hurry and scurry. As I type this, I am sitting…"

Katherine Graham Sarlson commented on Corey Johnston's blog post Sales and Christmas

"That's kind of what I do. I start collecting at the early summer shows and keep going. From a budgetary perspective, it's way kinder to my wallet + I am buying art from artists+ I can avoid stores. It's a…"
