The Home Builders Association, who manages the home and garden show, has again invited PNWS members to show and sell their art during this event. As this will be our second year at this show our goals are to see what changes from last year. We surprised many people last year by being at this event as many did not expect to see art and makers alike in the show. Like last year I expect a great deal of people will be surprised and many will be happy to see us again. I am happy to be attending as it gives me a chance to talk about being an artist, explaining my works and listening to the reactions of people who see it for the first time. On a very personal level I enjoy the face-to-face interaction with people who are looking for a safe place to meet artists and share ideas. While not on my list, initially, a fabulous reward was connecting with members and developing a deeper connection. It is my hope that those of you who enter will gain experience, connections and much more.
