Will there be any conventions in the midwest

just wondering if there will be any conventions in the midwest 2011

Not really. There's the Midwest Haunter's Convention in Columbus Ohio. Last year, it was the weekend after FABAIC. It's mostly vendors for haunted houses, but they do face/body art and contest. Wolfe bros were there. More scary stuff, obviously.

Here's a pretty basic listing http://www.face-painting-fun.com/face-painting-convention.html

Sometimes you can catch a touring instructor like Marcela Murad or Pashur.

Marcella's class was great. She is supposed to come back to Chicago at some point and do a flower class.

I would come to Chi-town for that & I have a van & a Marriot property discount!

In response to conventions in the midwest in 2011...
In October, the Midwest Clown association convention will be in LaPorte, IN at the Best Western (same place as last year, and my home town ) There are always at least a few face painting classes, and plenty of venders selling face paint and face paint supplies. Last year, I even taught a class there and was in charge of the face painting jams. However, different people are running it this year, so I'm not sure if I will have that same priviledge agian. But never the less, I will still be attending and am always up for a spontaneous jam!

Is Indiana the mid-west? Cause... I know sumthin... but I ain't telling...

Shannon, you tease!!!! Yes, Indiana is in the Midwest, and you must now spill the beans.

O.O yes... what is it? OMG, I'm dying to know now... lol. You can't just drop a line and hook us like that and not reel us in! No fair! LOL

Hmmm... I did recently get contacted by someone wanting to organize a Midwest Body Art Festival in June... but I haven't met with her yet. But... I didn't think she was from the painting community so I'm iffy on it still.

And, Shannon, I do mean this with the utmost respect and admiration: You are pure evil sometimes!

I second that remark! LOL

come on shannon what do you know..will we finally be getting something in the midwest do tell

Ugh... the suspense is killing me!

Shannon might be bribed with goodies

She already owns all the Bach Blue in the northern hemisphere...
