Well, after several years of threats, possibiities and yikes it's going to happen I finally became the victim of cut backs in the school system. So sad...too bad....I'm over it! Soooo this year my husband and I are comtemplating doing a few shows in Florida or Texas during Jan or Feb. I'm a potter. My work is both functional and decorative dominating on the nature theme. I've done some research, but honestly I find that word of mouth works better for me. We would really appreciate any information/advice that anyone would be willing to share with us. If by chance we meet up we will be thrilled to thank you in person over a few beers or better yet a marguarita or two or so. Thanks in advance. :)
Sorry to hear about the loss of your job. The schools up here in Michigan are right down to the bare bones. Plus, I heard our wonderful new govenor wants to privatize teachers! Can you imagine that? Well, hopefully, this will be a great new adventure for you. Check out www.Callsforartists.com. That is one of our sister sites and shows that are looking for artists are featured there. You should find some shows there to apply for. What ever help you need, don't be afraid to ask. Post your questions in the Newbies section of our forums. Good luck to you.
Florida show season is January into mid March. Then Texas until the end of April. Don't forget Oklahoma City the last week in April, usually right after Fort Worth. Florida shows are closing already (until early to mid October) so if you want to apply, get your applications in right away.
