<p>Speaking of numbers, there's no denying that jewelry is the biggest segment at the ACC Baltimore:</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Total # of booths: 650</strong></span></p>
<p>Jewelry/enamel booths: 26</p>
<p>Jewelry/metal booths: 167</p>
<p>Jewelry/non-metal booths: 63 = <strong>Total # of jewelry booths:</strong> 256 <strong>(<span style="text-decoration: underline;">= 39.4% of total booths</span>!)</strong></p>

<p>Jewelry/non-metal booths: 63 = <strong>Total # of jewelry booths:</strong> 256 <strong>(<span style="text-decoration: underline;">= 39.4% of total booths</span>!)</strong></p>
<p><strong>(<em>In addition there's also:</em></strong> <em>Metal (general): 31 and Metal/enamel: 2</em>)</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Compare that to the other media:</strong></span></p>
<p>Wood: 29 (= 4.5% of overall booths)</p>
<p>Wood/turned: 11 (= 1.7% of overall booths)</p>
<p>Furniture & Lighting: 38 (= 5.9% of overall booths)</p>
<p>Glass: 61 (= 9.4% of overall booths)</p>
<p>Ceramics: 72 (= 11% of overall booths)</p>
<p>Fashion Accessories: 35 (= 9.4% of overall booths)</p>
<p>Fashion Wearables: 85 (= 13.1% of overall booths)</p>
<p></p>
<p>And I saw jewelry makers in non-jewelry categories as well. They listed under "Fashion Wearables," the result of which is that the <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">39.4%</span></strong> of jewelry booths overall is actually even a tick higher.</p>

<p>I keep all those records also, and we could file our own taxes, but stick with a professional. But, still, out of 130 new artists, a very small number will be jewelry. For some reason I am thinking of a Big Bang Show where Penny was going to audition for a part, and she thought she would nail it, when she went into the audition the room was full of about 50 girls who looked just like her. She didn't get the part.....</p>

<p>I haven't seen the show, and I was paying more attention to the fact that there are three times as many people who are good that don't get in than the ones who do. It isn't as if artists were trying to get a book published, a writer can send out submissions all day every day, and if they are good, sooner or later, get published.</p>

<p>what would be the point of a piggy back show... that would dilute the market even more. You must have read the numbers of participants, it's a huge show. </p>

<p>Hold On...I do my own book keeping and my accountant tells me that he charges me very little because I provide such thorough information. I've told him, I like to see the numbers...that's where all of the answers are. </p>

<p>20% of 650 artists is actually a fairly high number. That's 130 new artists every time, at a minimum.</p>
