Re: [artshow_photo] Anyone taking 2011 off?

No - I am certainly not taking 2011 off, however, I am staying close to home
and only applying for the shows I know I will do well at. That is more of a
decision based on my availability - I am pretty busy with my other
businesses and only want to spend time at the shows that will pay off the
most.

I actually feel like 2010 was one of my best - had my best show ever last
year...and additionally, a lot of great opportunities for showing and
selling my work outside of art shows surfaced as well.

I can't really comment on how it is now compared to 10 years ago...as I was
not selling back then. But for me, it gets better each year. I am not too
worried about the economy personally.
