Happy New Year

Posted by Richard L. Sherer on January 1, 2023 at 11:38am

Happy New Year artists. I'm starting my art year off with a head cold but have a positive outlook of getting caught up on work sitting around the studio and changes in inventory. . My summer show scehdule of three very good shows is set up, housing deposits paid and one will be a family get together in Estes Park (Rocky Mountain National Park). Cabondale, which was a super show last year invited me back early and we will commute from Battlement Mesa, CO which is only an hour away. That will be a big savings on housing in Glenwood Springs-Aspen corridor in July ( rates are higher in summer than during ski season). I hope everyone gets the space they want for easy load in/out, friendly neighbors, great sales and contacts, no wind, rain or snow (yup a possibilty even in July), and safe travels.

Aloha Nels

Posted by Connie on November 23, 2022 at 2:56pm

It is with great sadness to hear that our dear friend Nels Johnson is not going to talk to us anymore about the shows. My husband Norm Darwish and I have known Nels since the early 80's. Norm was a photographer and you know how it is you know best the people who are in your own media category, you know them and you know their work. We must have participated in at least 50 shows together over the years. There are many stories to tell about that.

When we created this website sometime early in the century (2009) Nels was one of the earliest members. Early on he started sharing his art fair journey with all the new folks streaming onto the site, and sparred with many of the veterans of the business, amusing us but also bringing helpful information for his readers. Every blog not only had great tequila stories it has "meat." Thank you, Nels. Your writing on ArtFairInsiders would make a wonderful book that I think even non "show people" would find enthralling.

If you haven't been following Nels over the years and you don't want to get anything else done today I suggest you visit his member page where you'll find some great writing. A few to get you started:

(Does anyone have any of the titles of some other of Nels' blogs? I'm sorry to say that this system for this site does not list them on Nels' page. But I figured out that if you put the title of one in the search box it will pop up. Oh, I just did a search for "Tequila Report" and that brought up a TON of links. Nels, I'll bet you do ... Help!)

This link includes some of Nels' early photos: https://www.artfairinsiders.com/members/NelsJohnson

Okay, Nels, see you on the road ... much love to you.
