I was wondering if the ever-helpful Tiki Centralites could give me some advice. I've been invited to join the artists at the show this year but have zero experience in anything like this, which leaves me with several important questions:

If I can't bring my paintings on the flight, can I safely send my work to the hotel and have it held there?

Is there a time I need to arrive by to start setting up, or someone I need to contact when I get there?

Is the artist's area outdoors, under cover, or out in the sun?

What part of the day do the artists hawk their wares?

What kind of area do the artists have to set up in, a couple of folding tables? Are tables provided? I assume that I'll have to find some way to fly out display gear to put my paintings on.

My wife and I have nearly 2,000 miles to travel and would appreciate any help anyone could give.
