Well, our first full year of shows is behind us. We had some great shows as well as some real dogs, but that is part of the business.  We did 18 shows plus three small holiday markets locally mainly to get rid of old work that was not moving.  The weather, crowds, buying energy, and logistics varied from show to show.  The one thing that remained constant was the great people we met along the way who have chosen to do art shows for a living.  We may not have much experience in the art world, but we have had a lot of life experience.  We have never encountered a group of people who are more willing to help, stay positive in the face of adverse circumstances, and are just plain fun to be around.  When it is hot, the crowds are non existent, no sales, and all you can think about is how much of the money you made at the last show is going back out the front of your booth at this one, it sure helps to have somebody with a sense of humor next door that you can joke around with. We have gotten so many great suggestions from fellow artists that have saved us time and money.  In that regard we have learned a lot over the course of the last year.  So, to everyone we have met along the way, had as neighbors at shows, or have responded to our questions on this site, thank you. We hope you all have a great 2017!!
