2024 Show Schedule
The way shows work - I apply to be a exhibiting artist and submit digital images of my work with the application. The show hires independent juriors with some kind of art background and those folks sort through a few hundred applications. They decide who is accepted. The artist slowly forms a schedule for the year this way. Juries happen three to nine months before the show and we can’t determine if we will be at a show again until the show notifies us - it’s a wait and see if we’re accepted.
Below is our definite list of shows for the year 2024 and I’ll adjust it as I know if I’m accepted. After this spring we plan on cutting back on shows - dropping the ones that require two days of driving. It’s been a really wonderful career but there comes a time when ya just gotta slow it all down. We’ll continue to go to Tulsa and the St Louis area. There’s a show in Memphis I’m interested in and Kansas City….. a much smaller circle.
March 15 - 17 Eastern Shore Art Center, Annual Outdoor Art Show, Fairhope, Alabama
Two shows take place at the same time here and are just across one street from each other. Look for me at the Art Center show on N Section Street and north of Magnolia Avenue.
April 12 - 14 The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival, The Woodlands (N side of Houston), Texas
Look for me at the eastern end of the show close to The Marriott Hotel. My booth number is in the 500 area.
May 10 - 12 Tulsa Mayfest, Tulsa, Oklahoma
Downtown Tulsa around MLK and Archer
May 31 - June2 Summerfair, Coney Island, Cincinnati, Ohio
This show is at an amusement park turned event center along the Ohio River. It’s a beautifully landscaped place dear to the heart of those in Cincinnati. My booth is always under a big tree on White Way. Get a show map when you enter - the site is complicated.
August 30 - Sept 1 The Art Fair at Queeny Park, 550 Weidman Road, Manchester, Mo (St Louis)
A comfortable indoor show!!! Friday 5 - 9pm, Saturday 10 - 6pm and Sunday 11 - 4pm
November 1 - 3 The Great Gold Coast Arts Festival, Seville Square - downtown Pensacola, FL
We’ll be on Government Street - Booth Rodin 19. Friday snd Saturday 9am - 5pm, Sunday 9am - 4pm
November 9 - 10 Covington Three Rivers Art Festival, Covington, Louisiana
Downtown on Columbia Street. We won’t know a booth number until we get there.
That ends the schedule for 2024. We plan on cutting back on the travel again doing only a few shows that don’t require a bunch of driving. We know we won’t be back to Fairhope, Alabama because we have to set-up in the evening and we end up exhausted for the show. Just slowing down!
