Kentuck Festival of the Arts!
Some things are worth the wait! Kentuck Festival of the Arts is celebrating 40 years of rockin’ the art scene!! If you haven’t yet made it to the Kentuck Festival, you need to get on over this weekend Sat & Sun Oct 15th & 16th to Tuscaloosa, AL (Northport). This is one of my all time favorite festivals…it is a good time just waiting for you! There’s great Art (Outsider & Contemporary), the best line-up of Artists you’ll ever want to meet, and then there’s tons of Music, Food, & Demos!
The festival has been designated a Top Ten Art Festival by American Style magazine and is a great show that you really should pop for this year, so load up the car & head on over on Sat & Sun 9am-5pm.
You an find me in my usual spot # H-27, come by for a visit & some laughs. Oh…and did I mention this is the first time in 3 years you won’t have to compete with a major football game to get to the show?

Final Weekend of May!!!
I’ll be showing my work at Wild Oats in downtown Decatur this weekend during the Decatur Ats Festival. This year I am doing a trunk show instead of having an outdoor booth at the festival.

Come to see me this weekend on Friday night (Artwalk) 5-10P & then during the regular festival hours on Sat 10-6, and Sun 11-6. Wild Oats location: 112 E Ponce De Leon Ave (in the old By Hand South space).

BIG FUN…You Gotta Get Some…
OK… all you Thrill Seekers! Here’s some FUN you just can’t pass up:
More fun than one person can stand...
The Doo-Nanny is Saturday March 28th (if you can’t have a good time at a show with a name like this, you oughta just go ahead and hang it up). The festivities are from 10-5. There’s gonna be Outsider Art, Music, Film Festival, Fortune–Telling chickens, you name it and some crazy artist has thought of it.
Come on down to Seale, AL to the property of Butch Anthony (artist extraordinaire and proprietor of the Museum of Wonder) and have yourself a good time. Just a short two hour drive from the ATL, but a whole world away.
I went to this as a spectator last year with my friend Katherine and we had so much fun, that I vowed to return, and so I will be there as an exhibiting artist this year. And I will have a little interactive sideshow going (I can’t give all my secrets away) that you’re gonna wanna get in on!
Pile up in your car, bring your friends, and come on down…it’s a trip you won’t soon forget!

Kentuck…a place of art and love and so much more!
Hello Beautiful People…this means YOU!
I just got home from the Kentuck Festival in Tuscaloosa, AL. What a fabulous show… It is unlike any other show that I do, with it’s quirky combination of Contemporary Fine art, Folk/Outsider art, fantastic Music, & great Demos. All in a setting that is fun & funky all at once.
But most of all is is the people…I feel the love when I am there, I feel the appreciation from the collectors, the festival staff, and most of all, from my fellow artists. It’s like one big old hug, a festival of love. I feel happy and so alive when I’m there. I get to spend time with artist friends that I might only see there, so I look forward each and every year to this wonderous event.
I highly recommend the trip over to this festival, you will have the time of your life…you can check it out at: www.kentuck.org.
Peace, Love & Kentuck,
Your Pal Jeanne
