    Not true in all cases, Noel.  Roy Helms, for one, is very receptive
    to the complaints of artists in this respect.  He has repeatedly
    taken action to remove or exclude exhibitors when it is discovered
    that they do not meet the stated criteria of his shows (the
    Contemporary Crafts Markets).  I suspect that this is true of all
    reputable, top-end promoters. 

    When dealing with less ethical promoters, I would think a group
    protest would be the safest way to go.  Better yet, encourage any
    customers who express discontent with the situation to complain. 
    That should get the promoter's attention in a hurry!
