Last weekend I had a very busy and enjoyable time visiting other artists in their shows/studios/social gatherings.
I dont usually get the chance to do this as I live a fair way away from most events and I work in the family business when Im not teaching or painting alone in the studio.
It reminded me how nice it is to spend time with creatives, theres usually a shared camaraderie and a touch of "madness" thrown in for good measure.
There is also the fact that your presence is very much appreciated at events such as open exhibitions.
Every artist-craftsperson needs a responsive audience.
And you can make and be with some very good friends who can "speak your language".

This weekend, in NYC
Something that is happening this weekend that I cannot attend unfortunately, is the
Surtex Annual Trade Show for the Surface Design Industry.
I am represented by Australian agents Artshine and I am excited and hopeful that my paintings as surface design will pique some company's interest.
