A few referrals."

Robbie Curnow replied to Sonja Jones's discussion Does size matter? (with regard to artwork!!!)

Columbus Art Festival
Hello, I am a Jeweler and I live in Oregon. I know I’m not a mid-west artist, but I was accepted to the Columbus Art Festival this year. Has anyone in this group done this show? I have heard good and bad things about the show. My expensive would be high to attend. I would need to make at least $7500 to make it worth while. Is this possible? I have heard weather can ruin the show. High heat, humidity, wind, rain, but people stay and buy in all weather. I have heard it’s just 400,000 beer…See More

Robbie Curnow commented on Dave Grabarczyk's blog post How far is too far to walk to set up your booth?
"I've done five blocks on a hill before. Prefer not to do that again. I guess it depends on what you are up for. I agree with the show having helpers to unload, but I've only done two show that provided helpers before."
