My Annual Krasl Rejection
I just got my annual Krasl rejection, and I'm still scratching my head wondering what goes on. I wasn't able to get to the open jury as that's about a 4-5 hour drive for me and the weather sucked that day. I took the effort to submit two applications

Hi Everyone,
I had a costly screw-up while exhibiting at the Bethesda Row Arts Festival.
A woman bought a $500 wall sculpture and I swiped her card on my Square reader--not the new chip reader as mine has never worked. Actually, I swiped it at least

Hi AFI Friends,

I'm talking about that one person who made you speechless. C'mon, we've all had them.
For me it was another exhibitor! On a Sunday afternoon he came across the aisle and said he noticed how well I was doing and asked: "Where do you get your designs f
Read more…Steinhauer Productions
I am wondering if any of you have ever done a show with Steinhauer Productions? I believe they mostly operate in Louisiana. I have heard from one friend that she will not do any more of their shows. She makes and sells pepper jelly, sauces, and pi

New Show? Or not? Mid May, Chicago West Loop, Amy Amdur. I have not done an Amdur show in over a decade. I always think, and think, then don’t apply. The deadlines are so early, I have not prepared my season’s application strategy by then.

I'm excited to have been accepted to Artisphere next year. I haven't been to that area before. Any suggestions for hotels close to the show, reasonably priced, and with parking for a van?

why can't Jury scores be provided to us
I have always believed that for that 30$ jury fee, the least the show promoter could do was scribble our score and the cut off score on our dejection letters. That way we could make intelligent choices as to whether we were close enough to make it wo

On where to sign photographs
Hi--
I know it's a tradition for photographers selling matted prints to sign the mattes lightly in pencil. But what about prints that aren't in mattes? Metal prints, canvas prints, and so on. I wonder about following the tradition of print makers ove

These Connecticut shows take place on consecutive weekends, and both involve Saturday-morning set-ups, which I despise. This year, that was about the only similarity between them.
I'm a repesentational oil painter with pieces ranging from 10 inches b

I am wondering if any one here has done this show? I know there are, or were, some people here from Louisiana. I just found out about the one in a couple weeks but I can't be there. Just wondering if it's worth trying for the spring. Here is a li
