As you will discover over the next few days ... I'm kind of sort of homesick ... as in I'd love to go back to North and East Texas for a little Spring visit.
If anyone is in the vicinity of the Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival on April 19-22, please check out these thirteen artists for me. I have thirteen photographers to put up next week for you to check out.
If you are not going to be in the vicinity, you should check these artists out anyway.
Many have web sites listed where you can go purchase their items without attending (like me!).
If you aren't familiar with the
Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival, it is a juried event that has national and international artists competing for the opportunity to show (sell). Here, let me just do some Texas style bragging...
Mark your calendar now for the 2007 show, scheduled for April 19 - 22, 2007 here in beautiful Fort Worth, TX. Also, note the Harris List has just released their rankings for 2006, and we're proud to once again rank as the #1 Fine Art and Fine Craft Fair in Texas, #5 in the midwest and #9 in the country! Also, the Art Fair SourceBook has just announced their rankings, and have rated us #10 in the country. Finally, for the first time, we have been listed in the Top Show List of the Harris List of the Nation's Best Arts and Craft Shows, ranking #7 Fine Arts and Craft Show in the Nation.
