Today we were supposed to be in Sedona, AZ. participating in its fine art show. An attention lapse while stepping off some scaffolding last week cost Fred a trip to the doctor and some pretty strong drugs making the trip to Sedona unrealistic. We find Sedona a beautiful spot and an interesting place to visit, so it is sad to not be there.
Checking the Sedona weather forecast for the weekend and seeing rain and wind as highly probable, maybe we should not lament not being in the art show there too much, doing art shows in storms are just so much fun!
Our weekend will not be a weekend off. We have too much still to sew up before leaving on Monday for our cross country drive to Northampton, MA for the Paradise City show there next weekend.
We have to admit that the nation's economic woes are a real concern. Will attendance at art shows be lower than normal. Will attendees be cutting back on their purchasing, especially shows located closer to New York City, the epicenter of the financial problems? It is a long drive to Massachusetts to find out. Fortunately this trip also gives us the opportunity to visit Rita's dad in Upstate New York, and we are scheduled for another show in Morristown, NJ the following weekend, so between the two shows we are hopeful that our trip will prove worthwhile.
On a related note, the Jackson Hole Film Institute, the sponsor of the Jackson Hole Film Festival has closed its doors, a victum of the withdrawl of funding by people who formerly made a good living on Wall Street. Wall Street's demise even reaches deep into artistic life of the Rocky Mountains.
