I am sorry I am not at the Bentonville Art Walk. I set up my tent too early for the weather’s liking and it was destroyed in the storm. Fortunately no artwork was lost or damaged. I have been through far worse at shows. In another time I would have immediately shelled out more money for a new tent and walls or taken a last minute $100. rental to make it work. Yesterday, I decided I needed to cut my losses and head home grateful no one and nothing was injured by my flying tent.
I want to apologize to everyone who is letting me know they are at the show looking for my booth. I apologize to my fellow artists for leaving a hole where my spot should be and wish them the best of luck on this sunny day. Most of all, I apologize to Downtown Bentonville Inc and Becky McCoy for failing to fulfill my commitment to exhibit work at this event. I felt grateful to be included in the show and loved participating in it the last time. They put on a fabulous and professional show with great communication, beautiful promotional materials, and all the best artist amenities.
And I am sorry I do not have a photo of the destroyed tent, the cicrular sky, the foot of water in the street , or all the wonderful, generous, and kind artists who stepped in to offer their help and support.
