raganiI just got this reply from the BayCon art staff:
I have a Henna artist in the alley already. We usually limit space
to one of each type of art form. That way the 20 odd artists we have
space for don't have to compete with each other.
This both sucks and lets me off the hook. Mainly it sucks. Last year I was the only artist in the alley, but they had an artist in the vendor room. She was very gracious, but I could tell she was not too happy about me being there, and told me at the end of the weekend that she did not do as well as she had in the past. She attributed much of that to the economy, but wondered if this venue could not support two artists. I pointed out that we really served different customers and that I was not doing any of the traditional work that she was known for, but instead more fandom and custom work.
Sigh.... this is what I get for not being more proactive this year with the whole henna thing. Perhaps I can still have the map in the art gallery (you can just see the edges of it in the photos on the page linked above).
