terrim8 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Has anyone, (esp. potters from London) heard of the Parallax Art Fair and the manager Tom Moore? Seems crazy to me to ship things across the ocean to an art fair but that is what the request is. Hoping some locals there could tell me more than what I can find out on the web.

Chris Campbell Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I've gotten this invite several years too .... It never made sense to me. Be interesting to hear anything solid about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBaymore Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 This night be a variation on the various scams that artists are getting about "I want to buy your work for my shop in XXXXXXXXXX. Do you take credit cards?." I get about one a day of those. International exhibitions can certainly be OK.... just check the exchange rate issues (your currency value compared to the currency of the host country) to see if it makes any sense economically at your price points. And also the median income of the host country to see what the market for your type of artwork might be like. Plus check the potential VAT/tax and Duty issues. Then there is the shipping cost to add into all that. best, .......................john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I got an invite from this or another like this a few years ago as well. I did not make sense then and it still does not._Heck I have turned down a few shows in Canada due to border trade issues and the headache of duty.

terrim8 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Well, looks like there is a consensus. I wrote to a member from England and the name was not familiar to her either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrim8 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Ok- got another invite- this one's in Vancouver, BC. It is the International Urban Art Festival. Anyone ever heard of this one? Reviews???? As usual I could only find their own blurbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Never heard of it-The one in Stanley park in Vancouver is the only one I have heard of. You need to go to some of these shows and see what they look like before being a participant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrim8 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Yes, I agree, especially as it is such a long haul over the mountains- I'm in Calgary. I was hoping someone would know something though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
