I asked on the artfairreview FB page if anyone else got notice from Taca, here's what I got back:
Rick Steingress Unless things have changed they jury for the next year's show AT the show. It used to be that only 15% of spots rolled over and were open to application. If you applied for the first time that may be the problem. If you've been doing it and got juried out at the show...well that sucks.
This was my reply:
Wow, this is another one that "lights me up." A grand screwing from a show organizer. Kentuck is the same way, 90% of the booths are "grandfathered" so if you apply you really are among a thousand people vying for 30 booths. It is unfair that they get away with that "lying by omission" thing. We should blackball these shows so that everyone becomes aware of these deceptive practices.
Is it possible to create a page in the group's facebook presence or on this blog that could alert artists to promoters' deceptive practices and ripoffs?
