I lived there 30 years ago. It was gorgeous then and I bet it is even more gorgeous now!
I know what you're saying about the fee, but you only have to pay it if you get in. I'm considering applying just to stretch myself ... my flower pieces might find a market at a show like this. Scratching up the fee will take some doing, however.
It really sounds like a wonderful gallery-like event in a pretty upscale area, a wonderful place to showcase one of a kind pieces.
This sounds great but way out of my league, who can afford the booth fee? No wonder they call us starving artists...you'd have to go without food to pay for your booth, at least I would. I'll bet it's a wonderful show though...anyone ever do this one?
