Where in the world am I today?: North Vancouver, BC, Canada

The very first experience I had of performing in front of an audience and collecting tips came at the Festival of Spring in Ottawa back in 1982. Also known as the Tulip Festival, this Spring-time arts fair was populated by artists selling their wares and consumers looking for Art in one form or another. Since my beginnings at the Festival of Spring I’ve had the opportunity to perform at a number of Arts Festivals (The Festival of Friends, The Utah Arts Festival, The Fort Worth Main Street Arts Festival to name a few) and have always enjoyed the audiences who attend such events. A few years ago a fellow performer suggested that I check out the Festival Network Online which is an incredible resource for tracking down such events and is one that I have yet to take full advantage of. Well worth looking into as a market to perform in!
