Connie and I both received the following from the art director that I have been corresponding with regarding Mistura. I am continuing to respect the continued request for anonymity but will say that I know that most people on this website would be happy to be accepted at this art festival. I also feel confident that the information will be passed on to other festival directors. I am sure that Mistura will continue to be wonderfully successful selling their very cool watches at the appropriate venues.
Would one of you mind posting that the "anonymous" show director has
emailed Juan Barreneche and Daniel Schemel with the allegations
against them - giving them a fair opportunity to explain themselves.
She is specifically asking about 4 people working for them that are
not listed on their application and what their roles are, how they
have time to make 85 hour watches while providing stock to over 15
stores and 3 online sites while attending many art festivals and
specialty shows and asking them to elaborate on how they create their
watchbands, which have been rumored to be purchased not handmade. She
has set a response deadline of tuesday at 5 pm central. If they are
unable to explain themselves sufficiently or fail to respond, she is
removing them from the show. She wants to thank everyone on this blog
for giving her enough clues to be able to approach them.
