Forest Park??? Yes, there is one in Illinois. However, there is also a similar place in Georgia near Atlanta. You would quickly (and fortunately) learn there is no Art show to speak of in that city of the same name.
As publishers and providers of event information across the Southeast, we receive information from glossy multi-fold brochures and Marketing portfolios...down to the hastily scrawled messages on the backs of re-cycled letterheads. It's amazing to imagine what the sender has on his/her mind as the envelope is sealed and sent to us. Partially obliterated Fax sheets are less common but still received.
"B.I."...Before Internet...it was more prevalent. With the advent of Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Google and the plethora of search engines, bots each combined with the more savvy folks beginning to dominate the Marketing committees, the info is more forthcoming and detailed. But not to the extent most of us would like to see.
Yes, there is a tendency for events to assume those receiving the information know more than they actually do. No way to get around this. Just be aware these folks are working as best they can with the limited abilities they may have acquired through osmosis.
