Celebration Arts Festival

This week-end is the long awaited Celebration Arts Festival near Walt Disney World, in Orlando. I have been feverishly making prints, ordering small goodies to sell and making sure I am completely ready. I signed to be able to accept credit cards, which is a huge relief from going through PayPal and sending invoices at the end of the show.

As the featured artist this week-end, I'm looking forward to some "special" treatment. Friday night is the Patrons Party, and I will have my booth set up (they tell me in the BEST spot), and will be allowed to have my work previewed. Of course I am hoping for some good sales. I know from past experience, that this kind of promotion is truly valuable. So I am really looking forward to this show.

My time has been spent not only looking for show venues, but Gallery Partnerships as well. I am very lucky to have found a local Gallery in Ocala that I think has the potential to both promote my work and produce significant sales. EMPTY WALL GALLERY, is headed up by Monica and James Jo. They are located at2461 SW 27th Ave, next to the new Staples and Best Buy. Stop in and say hi, they have a good variety of art and have been in the business for quite some time.

I'll give an up-date after Celebration and hope to see at least a few of you there.
