Wayne Francis replied to Larry Berman's discussion Photographer Todd Lundeen Dies

"We are shocked and saddened by this. Todd's parents live in our area in summers, and we were fortunate enough to meet Todd and K on the art fair circuit last year (our first year). She won her first Best of Show in Green Bay last summer, and it…"

Wayne Francis replied to Linnea Lahlum's discussion May Birmingham MI, or September Birmingham?

"Just "did" Birmingham this spring. First bagel ever. Saturday the weather was miserable. Sunday it was so bad, the entire event was cancelled and artists told to pack everything and leave asap. Unfortunate as last year it was a great event."

Wayne Francis commented on Nels Johnson's blog post WHAT HAPPENED AT WINTER PARK?

"Hey Barry and Nels - it's actually ( of course) Isabel posting on Wayne's account. I didn't know there was an award for the WORST bowler - I would have insisted we go. Wayne did well and as this is our first year we have nothing to…"

Michael Peychich commented on Wayne Francis's blog post 57th St, Hyde Park

"I was there with my photography sales were good on Sunday and if weather had been better Saturday I think I would have been able to call it a great show. I show my more expensive pieces to get the attention on the patrons, however, most of my sales…"

Pat Sorbini commented on Wayne Francis's blog post 57th St, Hyde Park

"This irritates me. These organizers need to understand that this is how we survive. Their festival is our workplace. Sometimes my cards are the only thing standing between me and disaster. It is so very artsy of these folks to natter on about the…"

Anne Maraviglia commented on Wayne Francis's blog post 57th St, Hyde Park

"I was a first timer at 57th with ceramics this year in the playground area. I had finished setting up and was just fussing around at about 10:30 when an official looking person with a red tshirt and a clip board approached me and proceeded to talk…"

57th St, Hyde Park

We were first-timers this year, being relegated not even to the playground, but to the ill-fated alley. Upon the insistence of my bitchy wife, we pulled all the artwork and put it into safe storage Sat night...hate to say it was a good decision as there was a terrific wind-tunnel that night that wrought destruction upon many. The neighborhood livers were SO GREAT and saved much artwork from destruction that nite by just bringing the art into their homes. Great show!
