Perhaps attendance wasn't actually down, but rather your area of the show was just slow due to a poor layout. Maybe the show promoter isn't aware of this, but would consider improving the layout so that all exhibitors are exposed to show traffic. After all, the better artists do at the show, the better the show does. We haven't heard responses from any show promoters since the March issue. Perhaps their perspectives on the alleged blacklisting will lead to more new ideas for improving the show promoter-artist relationship.
Any comments are welcome.
