We exhibited in our very first art and craft show in 1975 in Westwood, CA. Over the last 49 years we participated in hundreds of art festivals all over the US, won numerous awards and ribbons, met and made friends with very talented people, witnessed many transformations of art and craft folks, heard and danced to incredible music, saw our children play, grow up and enjoy the fairs circuit atmosphere, and traveled to some incredibly beautiful places.

The years have caught up with us so camping out and sleeping in the van happens less frequently, but we still partake in fewer in numbers but better in quality festivals. Here is a list of some we did last year and shows we plan to participate this year, if accepted. Hope to see you at one of them--it is definitely worth visiting them.

Chule's might close at the end of 2024, a worthy end of 6 generation dedication to handweaving!

2023 Schedule with Brief Commentary

May 26-29, 2023. Norhtwest Folklife Festival. Our hometown festival in Seattle is a fantastic celebration of all: arts, crafts, music, dance, food, performances, ... My girls with lots of help pulled it off again, but no breakfast feast chez Niko this year. A must for art/music/dance lovers.

June 2-4, 2023. Cincinnati--Summerfair. A show that we have done many years in the past. Happy to revisit. Good crowd, great organizers.

June 9-11, 2023. Columbus Arts Festival. Second time for us with another success. Would not allow my booth--had to use theirs, not a very good display. Great appreciative crowd.

June 16-18, 2023. Lakefront Festival of Art. First time ever at this show. Perfect weather and crowd. Big tent gone but sales were great!

June 24-25, 2023. The Lockport Outdoor Arts Festival. Worst show of the year for us. Very low attendance. More like a swap meet. Terrible.

July 1-2, 2023. Niantic Outdoor Art/Craft Show A new show in a sleepy and beautiful town in the East Coast. Beautiful park setting, local event with volunteers and appreciative crowd.

July 8-9, 2023. Corn Hill Arts Festival. nGlad to be back in Rochester for another splendid show.

July 29-30, 2023. Orchard Lake Fine Art Show. Another lemon. Never again.

Aug 11-13, 2023. Sun Valley Arts and Crafts Festival. Back again this year, and well worth coming back. Used to bring the whole family and camp at the lakes--lots of history and fun with this show. Super sales and an incredible artists' breakfast. Art and company did super this year. Bravo!

Sep 16-17, 2023. Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival. Nestled in the woods the atmosphere is as though one is camping in the forest. Don't forget to bring the shims and watering can! The library book sale is always a hit for us.

Oct 14-15, 2023. Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. Best pumpkin pies, hands down. We have done this show also for many years and will continue to do so. More and more large beer crowd in recent years however. It takes two hours to get out of town!
