"I really think Cherry Creek is not that good of a show anymore. Finding your market, your target audience takes more research than just doing a lot of shows. I know my target market by talking to people outside of shows, but also by regiously people…"
Lexi Erickson commented on Linda A Shields's blog post What are the TOP TEN SHOWS to enter in 2012?
"This will be wildly unpopular, but I have seen the Cherry Creek Art Festival going downhill recently. I don't even know if they look at jewelers work for judging, The weather is always horrible, hot and usually heavy afternoon…"

"Jacquelyn--I so totally agree. Yes, I used to do shows where I took in big bucks, back in the 90's. Then I moved out of the country for 3 years because of hubby's job, then moved back to an area of the country where my pieces…"

Lexi Erickson replied to Linda R. Wurtzel's discussion O2 Absorbers for Sterling Silver in the group Jewelry Genies

- What is your website?
- http://LexiEricksonDesigns.com
- What are the best things about art fairs
- You get immediate feedback about your artwork, and it's great to meet the people.
- Best show ever and why
- Michael Martin Murphy's Westfest in 1996 at Copper Mountain, Colorado, was probably my best show ever. My jewelry has a definate Western look, and that crowd spent money.
- Worst show ever and why
- My first experience at the Buyers Market of American Craft (The Rosen Show) in Philadelphia. Many galleries shop there, and tho I met a number if nice gallery owners, many were very rude. The entire show has a slickness and sameness that I find boring.
