Joan Vinson did an excellent job getting the word out, and I was able to work well with Jackie Romney, Joan's assistant. This is San Francisco, not New York. We cannot compare it to New York. The dates for the 5th Annual San Francisco Arts of Pacific Asia Show will be the first week of February 2001, with February 1st the opening night and it will run on to February 4th. I personally hope, without appearing too negative, that the organisers will improve the entrance with something refreshing and attractive.
First impressions are always important in every endeavour.
Never has there been a catalogue, and surely this would be welcomed by everyone, at the very least to mark the fifth year and the continuous support the organisers have received from many others. Finally I hope transportation from the show will improve. Many complaints were voiced about, while I myself was waiting. For me, March will again be a very busy month as I am hosting our stand at The International Asian Art Fair in New York, and I look forward to meeting all our friends there. The fair opens with a Charity Benefit for the Asia Society on Thursday, 23rd March, and is open to the public from Friday to the following Wednesday, from March 24th-29th, 2000.
