Here are our plans to make this an exciting successful event for you:

Great, Geoff! I know they are working hard to make this a good show -- gallery owners and artists organizing it. You can always find open dates also at our other site: www.callsforartists.com
Geoff, be sure you ask for main st, if you see my review from last year you'll see why
Thanks, Connie...I had an open date that weekend and was casting about for a show when I saw this post. I'll review it when it's all over.
