I received this E mail today from an associate. It was a warning and I'd figure I better pass it on.
A word to the wise...Don't allow hacks like these to get your gourd.
Ayes
Dear Artists,
I received an invitation from Centro Diffusione Arte, Palermo, Italy about an Award Show in New York and other European Countries – don’t do it you will loose your money.
I asked among others a friend of mine, he is the owner of the Gallery Art a la Carte International Co. with many, many years experience in the show business. He told me to stay away – it is a rip off.
Please alert your artist friends (painters and sculptors) and read
The article in Art Calendar Dec/Jan “Art Entrepreneur: How to Avoid Being Duped by Scammers”.
It’s not online yet.
Attached is the front page of the brochure.
