"I have not to this date, but was planning on doing it this year before COVID. Since I've posted I've read that many citizens of FH boycotted the show, saying they did not want a super-spreader event in their town. "

Hi All,
I was wondering, if anyone knows, why some show promoters don't let you know your assigned spot until you arrive on the day of the show.
It is always a panicking time for me when I arrive at a show and don't know where I will be - especially if I parked my van far away from my assigned spot.
It bugs me too that I cannot let my collectors know which spot I will be in prior to the show - on my Events page on my website.
There…

Imagine you are in the most fantastic and beautiful Zinfandel, Bordeaux, and Cabernet Sauvignon region of the State of California (Napa – Chardonnay – yum).
Imagine a weekend selling fine art in a beautiful park in the center of Paso Robles, CA.
I bring my Kinetic Fish sculptures (…

Another Sedona Arts Festival done. Awesome!

The show was beautiful – Fine Art Only (FAO), and very well done. I heard many compliments from the attendees on how good the art was – I agree.
I did very well this year, great sales both Saturday and…
