Manley Pottery

Portland beer and wine festival promoter. You shouldn't encourage artists to participate in your over priced event,which is actually just a big drunk fest. Obviously you like artists there for looks and the money but if I made enough money in sales, your check wouldn't have bounced. I did indeed intend to square up with you but after you threatened to sue me, I terminated our communication. Your statement about trading pottery for the show fee with me is as redicupous as your alcoholic husband! If you are an artist reading this, I encourage you to do as I did to this promotion business. Obviously, if they cared about the arts they wouldn't look at us as cash cows then slander us on the Internet because their event wasn't profitable enough to pay for our expenses. Preparing for an art show, then driving to Portland from Reno isn't a last minute decision and If I wasn't sold on participating in this event I wouldnt have been there. I must admit, before your husband gets juiced up everyday, he can sure pull the wool over our eyes. If you knew who lied and stole anything, you would have your head in the sand.

WARNING. John G Manley entered our week end SPRING BEER & WINE FESTIVAL, in Portland, OR (April 6-7, 2012) at the last minute. He gave us a $500 check for his booth space that was deposited on the following Monday. It was returned NSF. Mr. Manley has refused to make good this check. I gave him the option of making payments or giving us pottery to equal the amount. Mr. Manley will not respond to my letters or phone calls. Bottom line: Mr. Manley stole his booth space and is an irresponsible and dishonest business man. Be warned.
