Perfect Gift Boutique

The Perfect Gift Boutique is an annual event put on by The Kaweah Artisans. Can you see the Arts Center? It is over there!! It is low-key. There are 7 of us showing and selling our work in an old converted house across the river from the main part of Three Rivers on North Fork […]

Bazaar, not Bizarre

The annual Three Rivers Senior League Holiday Bazaar happened on a rainy day. This might be the third year in a row, which isn’t really bizarre. I am not complaining – the rain is always welcomed in this part of the world. Central California feeds the world, and it requires irrigation to grow all that […]

Holiday Bazaar

This used to be called the “Senior League Bazaar”. . . I was walking past the Three Rivers Memorial Building and on the marquee it said 17 HOLIDAY BAZAAR. This means it is happening on Saturday, November 17. The hours are 9-4. You are invited! There is no entry fee. This is a pleasant gathering […]

First Saturday November is Over

But First Saturday Three Rivers December is coming. This is how my drawing table looked. I was working on a Wilsonia cabin. This is the painting studio/gym/storage area/Trail Guy’s workshop. Please be impressed by my red chrysanthemums – I think the leaky hose in their barrel is the cause of their gloriousness. But wait! Notice […]

First Saturday, Again?

If you are over 50, you probably are experiencing the rush of time. I don’t mean “rush” as in thrill, but rush as in hurry, fast, speedy-gonzalez. Didn’t I just particpate in First Saturday about 2 months ago? Nope, it was in May. Or was it in February? See? I sound like an old person, […]

Very very well organized Great booth space No charge for the booth Shade!! Unloading and loading right at the booth site. Free lunch and bottled water Booth sitting […]

Straight Talk About Art Fairs, Part Two

Yesterday we left off with a photo of my booth, which was both well-spaced and had a crooked Sawtooth oil painting with a worry about a large stage with very very large speakers.   Better – Sawtooth doesn’t show. But next time could you move that dumb-looking basket before taking the picture?   Enough paintings, […]

Straight Talk About Art Fairs

When I got to the venue for the Visalia Taste the Arts, I was very very impressed by the way it was set up.  As I pulled into the fenced off area, I was handed a show packet that included a lunch ticket and directed to my booth. There were many huge canopies covering multiple […]

Taste The Arts

Taste the Arts takes place on Saturday, September 29 in Visalia, California. It is a little division of a week long event called “Taste of Visalia“. Maybe. I’m quite confused on the whole shebang. What I am not confused about is that I will be one of many artists showing and selling my work at […]
