At Cynthia's request, I'm posting an interesting article about the European Fine Art Fair or "TEFAF" for short, held every March in Maastricht, The Netherlands.
It's purely coincidental I ended up living in a city that hosts the world's largest and most prestigious art fair of its kind. This year it attracted over 75,000 visitors who came to see fine art and jewelry exhibited by 200 exhibitors from 13 countries. I'm one of the few visitors who can walk to the fair, and certainly the only one who brings his own lunch.

I couldn't help thinking it might be an interesting SOG event in the future - but then you must book a year in advance.
