There's no reason why the show applications can't close the day before the jury starts. But from a artist point of view, it's to your advantage to apply early so the jurors see your work before they get tired viewing your category. If show see that the bulk of the applications come in the last day or so, it gives them incentive to extend the deadline.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539733483764988326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501279919065378335.post-41145257535960280152009-04-23T20:52:00.000-04:002009-04-23T20:52:00.000-04:00Larry - I did this show a few years ago, the venue...Larry - I did this show a few years ago, the venue is fine, set up inside an exhibition hall on the state fair grounds, and they do run buses from the premium show out to the sickly sister show. Unfortunately, the traffic was not sufficient to generate enough sales - 250 artists (50 of whom were jewelers, my humble niche) and it seemed every exhibitor got a very thin slice of the pie. Privately promoted shows (Amdur, Stookey, Alan) need to be scrutinized with more care and suspicion than standard CofC and art museum shows; they are not chartered to only cover their costs, they are out to make MONEY. I am getting gobs of emails for "extended deadlines" from a bunch of these operators, milking the chumps. Cheers, DALEAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144166281282024426noreply@blogger.com
