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.
This will be the third year that we are participating in this event and the second year we have a 25′ by 100′ or 2500 square foot gallery for our works. The theme for this years show is “City of Gardens.”
Last year sales we very robust across a wide range of prices. Work sold ranged from over $1,000 to $40. Once again our works surprised many people as many did not expect to see art and makers alike in the show again. One huge highlight was the five school buses from the Evergreen school district that delivered students to 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. Another 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.
