Oshkosh, my gosh....what a town.....the show was on a lagoon in South Park, Oshkosh......the lagoon was run by ducks who did not say AFLAC!.....they just quacked jokes.....sorry, lol......just trying to get your attention..
$90 booth fee....$10 jury fee.....100 booths.....nice crowd.....and they wanted to talk ....they struck me as cost conscious.....and very middle class....Ill have to check demographics on Wikipedia.com......weather wise it was cloudy.....75 degees....
So no problemo with the basics....
Unloading.....well it depends where your booth is.....if you are next to the road....it is easier......but if you are nearer the lagoon, you often have to roll 20 to 40 yards over the grass....I need bigger wheels for my cart.....maybe next year.....maybe, not.....I like a challenge.....I like to see the grass wrap around my tires and then my stuff hits the turf.....but no......I know this is coming and have someone else help me hold stuff on my cart.....haha.....I am ready for this.....
The show is run by the Oshkosh Fine Art Association which is getting better than years before.....but now they even have a website.....in the past, it always seemed like the award winners came from Oshkosh....but to be fair, there are more artists from Oshkosh than other places.......and this year people from all over won awards.....
Someone from the Oshkosh Fine Art Association said to my booth sitter...not me....that my current booth did not look like my booth slide......gee am I supposed to never change? ...they said I should be sure to keep bringing my originals....whatever that means.....I had originals as required by the rules.....so these comments were a bit obscure to me...I rather talk about the art itself.....unfortunately booth slides are used for art politics.....way too much
I sold a ton of low cost prints of my original paintings....no high cost originals...as per I usually do........I paint sports art and landscapes.....
I was going to give 3 and a half DAVEY's out of 5 for this fine show.....my art is all signed "DAVEY".
