  We'll be in the Founder's Court, booth 39, right outside of the McCaw Exhibition Hall.

  Folk Life is a cultural festival featuring music and dance, however they have 3 sections of Art booths.  It's beena  good show for us the last 2 years and since we're local we don't have the travel expense. It is a hard show to do, 4 very long days.

  Steve - if the Bumbershoot you are speaking about is the one at the Seattle Center, I'm not sure it would be worth your time.  We do Folk Life and it's a good local show for us, mostly handcrafted with a few buy/sell slipping in.  I've heard Bumbershoot is much more commercial, attracts a different crowd than Folk Lilfe that is much more of a "party crowd".  Haven't been able to get into Salem yet, we're having new pictures taken for our 2012 jury pics so maybe next year.  I'll look into Swiss Days in UT, thanks for the tip.

  Ruth,  i know that half moon bay has been a good show.   i got accepted to it but cancelled after a friend of mine said it was not worth the drive and i live in az.   he did it last year did around 1500 on sat and it rained on sunday so it was a one day show.   salem, oregon is a good show.  there is bumbershoot,  another state to try is ut.  swiss days on labor day in slc is suppose to be a good show.   there is park city and ut arts festival but hard to get into.   also was told that mt. view with calif artists could be a good show.   then there is always san franciso.  never heard of monrovia  show.

  Hi Joe - was just searching for various shows and came across this thread. We live in the Seattle area and are considering longer road trips for 2012 in the spring and fall, tired of doing shows in rain.

  Any input on shows in October including: Monrovia Celebrate the Arts, Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival or Campbell Oktoberfest? 

  Pacific Fine Arts is not accepting any new jewelry artstis so that eliminates several potential shows for us.

   

  BTW, I saw your comment that your summer home is in Vancouver WA, any good shows in that city?  I've never been able to find anything that looked promising.

  Yes to
  
  Pacific fine arts does Los Altos and it's their toughest show to get into. They buried about a month ago.
  
  Craftmaster was great when Lee Spiegal did it, but I only go with Festivalnet now.

  I live in Florida in the winter and Vancouver, Washington in the summer. I'll be doing several shows in Cali in July and then upper midwest shows in the fall. We're actually going to spend more time west next year.
