I create decorative raku and barrel fired pottery and market it as purely decorative. Know any good shows around the Midwest where work of that nature would be appreciated?

I've only shown in MN, and I've done a few shows around the Twin Cities such as Powderhorn, Stone Arch, Wayzata, Art at St. Kate's, and Lakeville. I'm looking to find show in WI, IA, and IL-Chicago area that are visited by serious buyers looking for something unique in pottery. It's nice to stick close to home, but I'm afraid that I will be spending too much time too close to home if I continue with the same fairs here. Just looking for more ideas that some may know of in the areas I mentioned. My price points range from 50.00 to 500.00 at the moment. Thinking of focusing on higher end items. My work is about the process and being unique-I'm not into production my any means. Thanks for the reply's this is a neat site!
I think the deadlines have passed for the summer shows in the states you mentioned.
Someone else here mentioned walking a few of the shows you may be interested in to see how you feel about the show. I would recommend Lakefront Festival of Art in Milwaukee, Port Clinton in Highland Park Illinois, Gold Coast in Chicago.
Munks may be more familiar with the better shows in Iowa.
Chad, your work is really nice, especially the copper matte. I would buy your work anywhere geographically!! Not knowing your price point, it is hard to recommend shows.

I really like your work.
Have you walked any shows to check what other ceramics people were selling?
