Summer Fairs 2013

It seems a quick summer is everyone's common experience these days.  I'm no different.

This summer I returned to the art fair scene, which is why one of last posts dealt with building portable shelves.  All in all, the two fairs I participated in, the Park Ridge Art League's fair and the Ottawa Art League's, were really good. Both were organized REALLY well.  Kudos to Tom Schuler on Park Ridge's fair, and to Sharon Danielson on all her work on Ottawa's.  Both were filled with serious artists whose hard work was really evident.  Best of all, both were filled with patrons who were appreciative of all our hard work.   It was such a pleasure to meet everyone and the feedback received at both fairs were so positive.  Thanks so much to the patrons and artists alike who made both fairs such a wonderful experience!

So where can you find me next?  During the first weekend in October, I hope to participate in the show at Bliss, the wine shop in Wauconda, Illinois, organized by the Artists' Cooperative Gallery.    And I certainly do hope Professor Owens from Chicago State University organizes another alumni show.  I not only look forward to displaying my art and meeting new people, but I also look forward to seeing friends at Chicago State.  And of course, purchasing a nice dessert wine from Bliss won't hurt either!
