WAOW members at Continental Divide Land Trust Opening
I recently participated in the 2nd annual plein air paint out event benefiting the Continental Divide Land Trust here in Summit County, CO.
It was fun to paint areas that are being protected by this Trust as well as others that need to be protected. There were some good sales in
spite of the fact that there were two other art fairs as well as symphony events the same weekend. Galleries in the area are suffering because of the competition.
There is an art event every weekend. Should artists participate in seemingly competitive events? Or can these events enhance each other?
It is a dilemma...Should towns try to limit the number of art fairs?
