We exhibited in our very first art and craft show in 1975 in Westwood, CA. Over the last 48 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 will mostly close at the end of 2023, a worthy end of 6 generation dedication to handweaving!

2022 Schedule with Brief Commentary

May 27-30, 2022. 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 2-5, 2022. Cincinnati--Summerfair. A show that we have done many years in the past. Happy to revisit. Good crowd, great organizers.

June 10-12, 2022. Columbus Arts Festival. First time for us with a smashing success: won an award and some $$. Great appreciative crowd--came out to buy!

Jun 17-19, 2022. Edmonds Arts Festival. Another local show for us. Well juried and attended. Good representation of fine arts. Easy for us (live right next to Edmonds) and fun for the girls.

June 25-26, 2022. Rhinebeck Crafs Festival. Worst show of the year for us. Very low attendance.

July 2-3, 2022. Niantic Outdoor Art/Craft Show A new show in a sleepy and beautiful town i nthe East Coast. Beautiful park setting, local event with volunteers and appreciative crowd.

July 9-10, 2022. Corn Hill Arts Festival. nGlad to be back in Rochester for another splendid show.

Jul 14-17, 2022. Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. Great show although large and spread out. Super organization that knows how to put a great show and super dinner for the artists--bravo!

July 21-23, 2022. State Street Street Art Fair. Huge with several shows runnign siultenously. Maybe worth the hussle.

Aug 5-7, 2022. Crested Butte Arts Festival. Wonderful art festival up in the gorgeous mountains of Colorado. Food for the artist, appreciative crowd. Well done!

Aug 12-14, 2022. Sun Valley Arts and Crafts Festival. Back again this year, and well worth coming back for a third year in a row in recent years. 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 with the new organization did well this year.

Aug 27-28, 2022. Palo Alto Festival of the Arts. On University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto (great restaurants!). Super variety of great artists. We have done this show for many, many years and will continue to do so.

Sep 17-18, 2022. 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 15-16, 2022. 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!
