FrameArt Expo - European Fine Art & Frame Exhibition Milan, 25-27 March 2011

The new international exhibition dedicated to the world of frame and graphics aims at promoting the "made in Europe" in this field.

With the "much rumoured death" of QUADRUM SACA - THE BIG SHOW - in Europe it would seem that a replacement would pop up somewhere.

Europe tends to be "off my radar" at times - as we now have a big team of field sales & internal people dedicated to dealing with it - leaving me to have fun in the UK & Ireland (and Oz).

I have asked the office & our Italian dealers for their views & will let you know what I find out.

Milan in March sounds nice - I may have to see if I can "help" on our trade stand - but not going to Bologna will be sad - I have such pleasant memories of so many beautiful restaurants & a few good bars too

Sad to see the demise of SACA. I've been every year since 1988 - cant believe its 22 years

Milan show is bolted on to a photographic show on same dates http://www.photoshow.it/

which augurs well for a succesful future.

So next year we need to discover the restaurants and bars all over again!

Wow - a photo show too - my original "area of expertise" all the way back to 1979 - before getting into the framng side in 1993 - I am sure the export team will need an "old fart" like me - just to get the coffees in

WHOOPS This is the forum weekend....

Milan or Stratford???

What are the chances of getting the Ities to move it???

DILEMA!!!
