News” S o u t h e r n O r e go n Guild members Ernie Elmer and Penny Niemi of Second Wind Studio in Illinois Valley shared the benefits of their 100+ shows on-the-road with a detailed, practical work- shop in Cave Junction. Their program, “Taking It on the Road -- A Marketing Workshop for Artists and Artisans,” ran for four hours Saturday, Nov. 6 in the county build- ing. Twenty artists and c ra ft s p e o pl e fr o m throughout Southern Ore- gon attended. Elmer and Niemi pro- vided information and re- sources gleaned from their experiences, as well as food for thought about marketing and successful sales at craft fairs and art festivals. Elmer distinguished among the types of art fairs and other marketing ave- nues, and discussed find- ing and selecting the right During October, 1,020 persons went to Illinois Valley Visitor Center, a decline of 238 from Octo- ber 2003. The figures were given the I.V. Chamber of Com- merce board during its meeting Tuesday, Nov. 9 in Wild River Brewing & Pizza Co. by Dulcie Moore, chamber office manager. She said indications are that inclement weather and “high gasoline prices” are believed responsible for the drop in visitors. Need Extra Income? outlets for art work. He offered insight into pro- moters and audiences in those varying outlets, and listed “do’s and don’ts” for successful applications, as well as how to ensure be- ing invited back. Elmer also decoded the “marvelous source,” the “ArtFair Source Book,” which the guild has purchased for member use. Because a major part of commercial success in these live locations is a quality booth and display, Elmer and Niemi set up a display sample. Elmer also demon- strated erecting the new commercial quality craft hut, which has been pur- chased by the guild, and is available for its members to rent. The workshop was part of Southern Oregon Guild’s continuing pro- gram of education to help Southern Oregon artists and artisans become more commercially successful with their art or craft.
