4 months ago she told me about a chance for "new up-and-coming artists" to get a free booth at a local art fair. I told her she should apply, "the worst the can do is say no."

Well a month and a half later the results came in and she was picked to present her art! A couple months of a mad dash to paint a few larger canvases, and get some quality prints made and framed...it's finally showtime.

If you're in the KC area come out and support your local artists (or don't, im an Imgurian not a cop.)

Work In Progress tax

I'm about as artistic as a Wet-vac so I think it's neat as shit.

All art is done by @tiniestpineapple

By the standards of pineapples, you're actually pretty big. I'd guess that you're probably top 1% or better in pineapple terms

In all seriousness, I am in love with your flower studies. If you are ever willing to sell, they will have a happy home in the US for sure.

Cool, but never show WIP. Only show your best.

I said they were cool, what do you want? From one professional to another, the message is the same. Never show anything but your best.

Westport Art Fair takes anyone.

With the cheaper booths and and popularity, it’s really difficult to get in. Luckily she won her way in through her art.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

a different story, but they can barely get any good artists to show up for the Westport one anymore.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Uhm. No. That's not actually true. My parents are KC Artists and they helped with this fair. Literally anyone can get in. Plaza Art Fair is

Actually they don't take anyone. Varies year to year. But glad you felt it necessary to downplay my accomplishment.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

They do actually. It's not downplaying it's just a fact of the matter.

My mentor for the event has done Westport multiple years in a row. Last year she wasn't accepted. Btw, what was your parents booth number?
