<p>Not that others are not welcome, however I think it is most applicable to these mediums</p>
<p></p>
<p>In aforementioned categories, some shows sales are limited to area specific art.</p>
<p>Example: "Beachy scenes", "Certain architecture... items that are relative to that geographic location. </p>
<p>To try and educate the potential customer on the difference between "Art" and "Decorations" is problematic and not desired at the shows.</p>
<p>Someone living in south Florida may not want to hang a photo of ice breaking off a glacier. No matter how fine a piece of art it might be.</p>
<p>Just because a show is in Philadelphia, not all the images need to be of Rittenhouse Square.</p>
<p>It is difficult to determine in advance which shows are geographic specific. Just because a show is in a certain area may not mean the customer base is centric to the "area specific" purchasing practice.</p>
<p>How do fellow artists determine this in advance?</p>
<p>Few reviews seem to address this.</p>
