This show had been held in the Historic Old Town San Diego. Old Town is a quaint area that attracts tourists to San Diego.<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="display:inline;float:none;background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;">The Arts & Crafts Show Old Town San Diego first began in 2011. This art and craft show had something for everyone, fine art, entertainment. delicious international tasty food, tequilas, and craft beer and wine. The colorful art event ran along San Diego Avenue from Conde Street to Twiggs Street.<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="display:inline;float:none;background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;">The art and craft show was hosted by the Old Town Chamber of Commerce. In 2018, the show was schedule to take place. The artists were juried in and a month before the show was to take place the show was abruptly canceled. The artists' money was refunded. <br /><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="display:inline;float:none;background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;">The Old Town Chamber of Commerce did not receive the annual financial support in 2018 that it had received in the past. That lack of funding caused the show to be cancelled in 2018. Because that lack of financial support still continues there was also no show taking place for 2019.</span></p>

It is always sad to report the end of an art show. </span></p>
