Did you exhibit at the show or simply attend??? If you exhibited - then I want to hear how it went. <BR/>Re: show auctions - I'm with you. I always feel like I'm being asked to bleed a little. My last show, the org. screwed up and my piece didn't get included. So the person in charge tells me,"you can still donate the piece and we'll save it for our next event." I'm sorry. I don't think so. Gotta laugh at some people.<BR/>xxx LorettaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916622420471059281.post-42356963396422868272007-12-09T13:07:00.000-05:002007-12-09T13:07:00.000-05:00Hi Judy,Thanks for the thought provoking post. I ...Hi Judy,<BR/>Thanks for the thought provoking post. I agree with your point of view. An entrepreneur is very wise to consider what would work the best for their business when making a donation. The company I work for receives many donation requests. We have found that the situation that works the best for all is to donate a gift certificate.<BR/>-Karenartandteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350259339476430261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916622420471059281.post-11914622283808774992007-12-09T08:51:00.000-05:002007-12-09T08:51:00.000-05:00I think in the case of the Family Services Auction...I think in the case of the Family Services Auction they could have done a much better job publicizing the auction. Something came up for me at the last minute and I wasn't able to attend Crafts At The Castle, but I would have definitely checked out the auction if I had known.<BR/><BR/>As for the whole concept of auctions of artists' work, I have to agree with you. I think in the end it can devalue your work. Like you, I only say yes now when I am very close to the organization. Frankly the gift certificate idea sounds like the best bet to me. The bidder gets to choose the piece they really want. The artist gets more direct attention and less of a loss.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364394815068013491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916622420471059281.post-26881184212094789782007-12-09T07:58:00.000-05:002007-12-09T07:58:00.000-05:00Maybe you should reconsider.

I love the earrings you got, and the polyclay necklace, that's gorgeous. I think they are art. But that doesn't mean I'd pay those prices for them. According to many, the economy sucks, the dollar is down, so maybe art should follow if they want to sell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
