Hi Jean,

It has been over 15 years since I worked the art show circuit and most of
the shows I did are no longer running. I did like the show at Water Tower
Place in Chicago but I even lost the contact information.

I suggest you go to your local book store and buy a book listing art and
craft shows around the country. That is how I found the shows I worked. The
shows I do now are the Home Shows. It is not really a show where people
would expect art but it is a much better marketing tool for me.
