Hi Everyone,

I had thought about applying for a Paragon show that will be held in Sarasota, FL and wondered if anyone had done it and what his/her feelings about it were. I missed the deadline (unless they extend it). The reason I thought about trying it is that I am doing the Osceola show in Kissimmee (for the first time) and the Space Coast Art show two weeks later. Since I will be coming from Tennessee, it would be nice to have a show the weekend of 11/21-11/22 to fill in the gap.

You all have always been so kind, helpful and supportive, the various times I've blogged. Thank you all in advance.

Susan

  • I found the people at Paragon to be very helpful and considerate.  Would do a Paragon show again.

  • sorry for the delay in saying thank you. I'm working at Dollywood this month as a guest artist and I've had computer issues at our campground. I decided to not apply for the Paragon show. I had a bad experience with their Jersey Shores show a few years ago and hoped he had cleaned up his act, but from what Pen said, it sadly isn't so. Thank you everyone!!!!

  • I was asked last minute to be in a Paragon show here in Houston a few years ago. I was not happy with the lack of advertising, the lack of knowledge about the area, and lack of support from the organizers.The wrap up that went out afterwards had much higher numbers that were not true (to make it look like everyone made more than they did). I will not participate in the future with any Paragon event.

  • Susan:  Actually, Paragon has extended deadlines and did for this show is well - BUT THE NEW DEADLINE IS TODAY.  Check Zapplication.

  • Hi Susan, Bill Kinney has never extended a deadline, to my knowledge, and the show was juried a while ago.

    Hotworks has a show in Miromar Design Center (Bonita Springs, about two hours south of Sarasota) the same weekend. Also juried a long time ago but maybe worth a call. Good luck
