As Art Basel is being planned, the Mad Hatter Arts Festival scheduled for November 20 and 21 this year has been canceled.
There is all sorts of reasons for this going around: not enough artists signed up, the city would not permit the streets to be closed, construction in the area was a concern and permits were not applied for in time.
Whatever the reason(s), this year's event is not to be.
The Mad Hatter may make it up to the artists who did sign up, by giving them free or a reduced rate at one of the upcoming Saturday night gallery walks, perhaps December 4. It will be tied in to a charity or two and be a Mad Hatter Gallery Walk.
Details to come. As for now, all money will be refunded to those who signed up for a booth.
