Michael J. Magee Photography replied to Gregg Rasmusson's discussion Too ambitious for a newbie?
"I agree with the 15 hour drive, that seems a little too much for one show. If you were doing that and then another show later during the trip in the area. But more power to you. Looks like you are doing well and getting into some great shows!…"

St. Stephen's Art Show (the other white meat lol)

Just wrapped up my fourth art show in my young career and had a great time going back to my home of the past 3 years, Miami Beach. Hotels were expensive in the area so I commuted 35 miles from Fort Lauderdale (25-30 minutes on I-95) and parked in a local garage for $15 per day. The booth & application fee of $500 was less than Coconut Grove and I assumed since I am just starting out that I wouldn't get into Coconut Grove so I only applied to St. Stephen's. Especially since I haven't gotten…See More

Michael J. Magee Photography commented on geri a. wegner's blog post It was the best of times, It was the worst of times.....Coconut Grove Arts Festival
"The work at the Grove is edgier, there were a few photographers with bodyscape and other work that wouldn't be appropriate for a family show."

Hi Michael,

Your my first friend on this forum...thanks for your invite.  I enjoyed meeting you last weekend and hope it was the first of many.  Thanks for saving me and my tent...I will always remember your kindness and assistance at a very scary time for me!  I have made very heavy weights and will strap it to them so I never have to worry again.  Should it take off now everyone should run in fear of getting hit by the concrete filled 5 gallon buckets!

Wishing you the ultimate show in the Grove!

All the best,

Archie
