San Diego Spirits Festival

     August 25th & 26th I was fortunate to be part of the San Diego Spirits Festival. The San Diego Spirits Festival is exactly that of which it sounds, a festival for all things liqure, bartending and mixology. Now I was not in and amoungst the drinking aspect, however in front of Broadway Pier(the event location), they held an outdoor arts and crafts festivals. This is what I was able to be a part.

     It was interesting to say the least. Even though it may not have been as centrally focused upon art as one could hope it still was an opportunity for exposure and networking. It was a chance to have your work out there for the general public and the financially sound in attendence of the festival. And in that aspect it was a great success. By the end of the time I spent there I made multiple connections with customers,viewers, curators and fellow vendors. I made a couple of sales. I beefed up the resume. And I learned a little more abut setting up for a booth space.

          A shoppe must create an atmosphere for its customers as must a booth for a show. It is my hopes to create a mobile version of my studio space. Facilitate a scene of dessert, dilapidated beauty including everything from dusty accents and vintage furniture. This the home of my work in life an in my heart. They deserve such a stage. It is their setting.
