Date: Sat, 09 Mar 2002 20:50:02 -0500 Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at keithlynch.net> In the context of an art show for Capclave, Ted White asks what is the benefit of having a larger convention. This is the wrong question; if you run an annual con, either it grows or shrinks. Capclave I was about, 300, and clearly has room to grow. When and if it gets above 1000 the qurstion can be revisited. In the meantime an art show can help us grow the con. An addes plus is that the artists tend to be actively involved in setting the show up, being participants rather than spectators, and while such fannish activity shoulde be encouraged in its own right, I would rather party with artists than almost anybody.
