This weekend I will be set up at the historic and beautiful Indiana State Museum, where I will be one of the featured artists at the Indiana State Art Show.
One thing I love about this show it’s INSIDE! It is one of the few shows I do that is not out in the elements under a white tent. Of course it IS Indiana and it IS still winter, so I’m very glad to be doing a show inside!
I also love that artists from every county of Indiana display their wares. It is a vivid and variegated group of talented artists that I feel honored to be among. This year there will be a series of demonstrations by some of the artists. I will be demonstrating how to make a pair of earrings from a kit.
I love the people who come to the show. Last year the weather was horrible, which prevented a lot of people from showing up. The show promoter was actually apologizing for the lack of customers (it wasn’t her fault!) The great thing was, even though the crowds were thin, I sold some of my highest priced pieces, so I was happy with the turnout. It’s never about quantity of customers for me.
Lastly, I love just being in the museum for the weekend. It is such a classy venue, with inviting displays and a lovely restaurant. Remember the elegant Ayres Tea Room that was part of the downtown scene back in the day? It has been re-created upstairs in the museum! There is also an IMAX Theatre on the first floor. In my opinion, it’s definitely worth the drive to spend an afternoon at the museum.
