Wildlife Art Shows / Christopher J. Gervais / Western and Wildlife Art Magazine

This man is operating an advance fee scam as defined on the FBI web page for fraud. He contacts artists to tell them about an art event he's hosting in their area, usually at a prestigious venue. It is supposed to be a juried show, but he actually will take any artist who applies. After he's collected as many entry fees as he can, he either cancels the show or changes the venue to a high school gym that he can rent at negligible cost or for free. He of course offers no refunds to artists.
