Day 12 - 2017 Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition

Honorable Mention Award Winner
Congratulations to Victoria Platt Ellis
for
"Swims With Fishes"

Today was a day of "Artist Angst" over the weather.  If the weather forecasts 70% chance of rain or higher, artists have the option to open.  If it's raining in the morning but clears up in the afternoon, most artists have their booths open. And, certainly, with the deluge we had this afternoon, the artist doing the demo is not expected to demo in hard rain like today (although we have had artists do their demos in their tents in the rain).  The major anxiety today was the new "app" many are trying to use - provided by the National Weather Service.  And it gives hourly rain percentage forecasts (tomorrow does not look good at all).  So...it was all very confusing today. Until the heavens opened around 2:15 p.m.  No one was confused any longer.
