Just a reminder:
Fellow artists/crafters in your community are not competitors, they are peers.
Your own hands can only make a limited amount of things, so can theirs. Camaraderie is greater than resentment.
You are both building appreciation, and your art is not the same as theirs even in the same medium!
Help them set up their booths, or compliment their work. Tell them how nice it is that they are making the world more beautiful with their art. Spread that love, guys.

Ato Ribeiro – Yokow’s Maple, 2023, repurposed wood, wood glue, 60″ x 60″
Ato Ribeiro works in a variety of media: sculpture, installation, drawing and printmaking. Born in Philadelphia in 1989, he spent his childhood and adolescence in Accra, Ghana. The articulation of his West African heritage and his African American identity is central to his art. This is evident in his wooden assemblages that reference both Ghanian strip-woven kente cloth and Black quilting traditions of the American South that were used as a symbolic language in the Underground Railroad, guiding slaves to freedom in the North.
Ribeiro works with discarded pieces of wood—a material that he defines as conceptually paralleling the way individuals of African heritage have been treated throughout history. He then pieces these precious scraps together into geometric patterns that are recognizable as a language and even hint at narrative but confound the viewer because their specific code and meanings are not necessarily decipherable. As the artist has explained, “My wooden kente and quilt works, mixed media installations and prints provide educational opportunities to seek out new points of reference, while preserving layers of African cultural heritage and varying ethnic perspectives.”

its late in the evening and am curious since am getting ready for a new year of possibly going to craft fairs and cons, if you were at an event with artist vendors what would you be most tempted to buy? (assume they're all a mid level price for what they are)
idk feel like stats on this would be kind of helpful for a lot of artists

Support for Palestine ahead of Venice Biennale:
A newly formed activist group known as the Art Not Genocide Alliance (ANGA) has published a petition calling for Israel to be excluded from participating in this year’s 60th Venice Biennale.
4000 artists and arts professionals rally to protest any Israeli presence. If only Eurovision would remember to do the same.

So I'm terrible at social media. TERRIBLE at self promotion. But it's okay, I don't have too many followers that would have been able to go to this. With the help of a group of friends I hosted a goblin and fairy art show! We had 30 artists, a competition & coronation of the goblin lord, goblin CLOWNS, and so many wonderful costumes. We've decided we are going to do this annually too. So if you live near the Central IL area, Springfield is going to be slowly building a ren faire focusing on the arts. This is the second year the This Is Fae Propaganda Art Show has been done, and now that we have a team working on it, there will be more to come. I'll also have a couple of posts coming out with videos of our chaotic goblins as well as what weird art I made for my booth.
