Grandpa Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Is any of this open to the public, like viewing the works and such or does one have to be a IFLG member to attend - in any fashion? John D.

Johanna Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Only members of participating guilds can compete in the show, but the show is open to anyone to visit or take classes. Hope to see you there! Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spur2009 Report post Posted April 7, 2011 I have been a guild member for about 30 years now and helped put on the 2010 show in St. Louis. In answer to your question. Yes it is open to the public. Non-guild members may view the competion pieces after the judging has been completed as well as individual guild's display tables and utilize the many venders who will be in ABQ. There are no strangers at the show so if you are in the area or have time to travel come on to the show and have a heck of a good time. I for one wouldn't think of missing it.
