There is a distinct possibility the Shoebox Art Fair might have to be cancelled. If everyone who expressed interest registered, the only concern would be for a successful event. Yet, while there are many artists in the region, we still have spaces available.
Since this region is also not on any arts trails, for that reason alone, you’d think interested artists would rush to register without being constantly prodded. After all, this is a great and affordable way to promote and sell our art. The registration fee is quite low and the tourist season guarantees a good showing.
There is currently no Arts Development Officer in the region hence why I have been doing what effectively comes under council remit. The registration fee does not come to me but to an arts’ fund for more opportunities for artists.
Ultimately, one can only present opportunities. If people choose not to take advantage, well... what can I do?
