The "Art in the Garden" show was a terrific success, I think for everyone. I have discovered that this was their 29th year so next will be huge! They have had years to practice, problems to resolve and seemed to run this show effortlessly but a lot of work went into it. I think there were about 30 artists in this garden section and we all did well. The pieces that were there, mine and other's do not display well in a booth and we need this garden setting, an environment that encourages walking through a magical garden and finding treasures that can be purchased. There were no ten by ten plastic tents, no carnival or food court atmosphere. Just fun and open space and about a million flowers! Seriously, they transformed an open field into a beautiful garden over night. Elves working around the clock.
I have been invited to other summer garden exhibitions already, but different ones. With booths and the plastic canopies where I should be selling cotton candy. One booth indistinguishable from the next.
My hat is off and fair organizers should be flocking to Maude Kerns Art Gallery to discover their secrets.

Love your whimsy on the garden setting Jer. It does indeed sound a beautiful way to exhibit your gorgeous works of art. You are always inspired by the garden anyway.
I wish I could have been there to see your work in person.
