You are welcome to do as you wish, I’m not trying to change your mind just give people the knowledge to decide for themselves. All I can say is I won’t be applying again.

Hi Vincent. Steve Powers is a great show promoter. The reason he can't refund your money is that he has already spent the money on: Advertising, City fees, Staffing and employees, etc. This is an unprecedented emergency for everyone out there, us artists and promoters. Steve does not need defending - and I will continue to support him.

I am relatively new do doing festivals but I think it's unfair what Steve Powers is doing now with the "Paso Robles Art in the park." They are canceling the festival due to the Coronavirus which is no ones fault but they are not giving refunds, the only thing they are willing to do is give a 50% discount to another festival. He runs:

• Paso Robles Art in the Park October 17-18 2020
• Paso Robles Art in the Park April 17-18 2021.
• Arroyo Grande Art in the Park August 15-16 2020

I don't recommend applying to any of these shows for that reason. I just don't think it's fair that the artists should be the ones that have to absorb the losses.
