Upcoming Conventions and Trade Shows
While working on compiling this list, I was saddened to see the loss of so many of our beloved painting conventions. Let's help keep the following shows alive by attending and supporting our teachers and designers, our suppliers. The networking alone, interacting with fellow painters, makes it so worth while. If you have never been, give them a try. Go to convention, take a class, stock up on supplies. Let's put this creative industry at the top again!
