The NAIA conference in Peoria, IL has concluded with a most incredible brainstorming session among the directors. The energy of having all these pros in the same room talking about what works for them and what they want to change was amazing. I was so proud to have the director from my local art fair show up at the conference. She is new to the show and will have to make a lot of changes to bring that shows' quality up, but she sure hit on a hot topic when she brought up show poster competitions. These guys are passionate about their posters and were very eager to share tips with a newby. The Winter Park, FL show also brought along a scrap book with 25 years worth of poster images. Very cool to see the evolution of that show in their posters.
I had the good fortune of having lunch on Thursday with Hyacinth Manning who created the Peoria show poster. The show is raffling the original art as a fund raiser after Hyacinth donated it to the Art Guild. What a wonderful woman. I love her poppies and wish her much luck in her sales this weekend. Good people are everywhere.
