Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such great info being shared freely out there.

Hello there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back often!

I must say CG is really getting attention and all negative which is great! Yes, I’ve been in one of his shows and he’s really something else to deal with. I’ve talked to several of his past art show artists and there is nothing but negative words.

I remember last year when he was “suppose” to have the Pacific Rim Art Show in Portland Or. He was giving us artists at he Enumclaw Expo Show first dibs on site for a $100.00 off. But most of us had already desided that he was a “whatever”.

Then I started following his shows and other artists started calling me and I told them do not enter his shows. You will never see your $$ nor will there be a good attendence. Since he does not advertise very well for some reason he thinks the artists should do the advertising.

I’ve also talked to an artist in BC Canada, he and others were going to be in the show in Alberta, I told him to call ahead and make sure there was a show and if not they were out of their money.

Marti, Thanks for contacting me and the others. Yes he’s removed me from his site, it only took 2 months or so for him to do this, he’s such a busy person. Also, to all of those who were planning on being in his Enumclaw Expo Show or in the Kent Commons Show, there are NO SHOWS. He really has to book them to show they may be there, also just checked to site for the Pacific Rim Show and guess what, it’s not on thier calandar either.

I’m sure the folks thinking they were going to get a great chance to go to Kenya to study the Wildlife are out their $400. and hopefully thats all they are out of. So lets keep after this person and get him one way or another, he’s really a rat and thats something we do not need in the art world, it’s rough enough out there for artists.

Good luck to all of you. SAZ

Wildlife Art Shows is “sponsoring” a trip to Kenya in support of the Gallman Foundation. I doubt that given recent events at the preserve, any trip would now be possible. Click this link to see why: http://www.gallmannkenya.org/news.html - I truly hope this place can recover. Artists who sent their $400 deposit to CG are now in the same boat some of his “exhibitors” are - waiting for a “refund” that will most likely never come. I would note that there is nothing on his website of this devastating event or any indication that the trip will continue.

“….emailing and inviting top art show producers/promoters from the west to a seminar in PA”

All he can teach them is how to screw artists and stay, for the time being, one step ahead of the law.

Christy, he has only succeeded in the past, I believe, because he ran generic festivals where people didn’t really know each other. When he decided to move in on the wildlife/animal art world, he didn’t realize that we are a supportive community that “talks” to each other. He probably thinks that’s cheating, somehow. We’re all supposed to walk to the slaughter, writing checks, like good little lambs.

Your post is really appreciated!

I spoke to a art show producer who received an email from CG. Apparently CG is now emailing and inviting top art show producers/promoters from the west to a seminar in PA. Can you believe he thinks he can teach anyone how to run a show!?! He is starting to get known by the artists I talk to. I still haven’t found even ONE artist that has had any dealings with him that doesn’t have a bad story to tell.

P.S. I’ve now broken my silence publicly on CG. It really ticks me off to see my friends getting shafted by this guy.

I wrote to Jeff pretty early on, along with another artist I know, who wrote to him also. But neither of us had actually done any shows with him (she was only signed up for one in Canada) or dealt with him directly (I don’t think my phone call qualifies as “direct” ) like you have, so that’s great that they will post a warning. I directed Jeff to this blog, but don’t know if he’s had a chance to look at it. They’ve been buried in show stuff, plus launching me and the previous grant recipient.
Good Job!

All - I received an email from the AFC this morning in response to mine. They are drafting a scam alert warning which will be available to their artists. I’m told they had been hearing “bits and pieces” about him, but the details I provided were enough to cause them to issue the alert.

Susan and all: I have emailed the AFC and reported his doings to them. I note that several of the Alberta and BC exhibitors are AFC members. I would like permission to use some of the posts here if the AFC requires more information. Please either let me know by posting here or on my own blog http://www.martimillington.wordpress.com

I have a blog entry on this subject and you can comment there. Perhaps the AFC will contact Terry Isaac for his input as to CJG.
