I was in Greensboro, NC, last weekend visiting friends, checking out the new Apple iPad at the Apple Store in Greensboro and somewhere along the way I picked up a card promoting the 12th Annual Triad Area Spring Pottery Festival, which will be taking place at the Greensboro Farmers’ Curb Market located at 501 Yanceyville Street in Greensboro on April 11, 2010, from 11am to 5pm.
The headline stated – Experience the richness of local pottery!
I might be going out on a limb, but that might be a reference to another pottery show taking place in Greensboro or that took place in Greensboro – which is organized by someone from outside the area which brings in potters from outside the area. I could be wrong, but I know there have been some concerns about that in the past in Greensboro.
I’m not saying there shouldn’t be regional shows or even national shows in areas where there is a local art community or local shows. I’m saying some folks just don’t know how to be a good guest.
Since this is a Triad area show – there will be potters from Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, and points in-between or from areas considered part of these greater communities.
There will be free parking and no admission to the Festival. The Festival is a program of the Greensboro Parks & Recreation Department with support from the Carolina Clay Guild, Europa Bar & Cafe, First Carolina Delicatessen, and Yamamori Ltd. “Distinctive Jewelry Since 1969″.
