    This is a great topic. I have learned (since I have been in business
    now for my first year) to avoid quasi-fashion shows. There are many
    people who tend to prey upon young "up and comers" and sell
    themselves to you that they promote like crazy and that stylists will
    pick you up to put your work in photo spreads for big name magazines
    if you pay to participate in a fancy SoHo loft show. There are A LOT
    of them in NYC. And I feel like they just leach off of the creativity
    of others to make a buck. 

    So far, the best shows for me have been doing special "meet the
    artist" weekends with demos and formal visitations to the galleries I
    am repped by. 

    I am interested in hearing others' lists! 

Salut,
Kim
