Andy,
I don't see how you've sold us on any advantages to mixing with the "art snobs".
All you've done is malign the status quo without telling why some new national or regional collection of politicos and a snooty show would be so beneficial. For example, Ginko is the brainchild of one man.
Why can't a bunch of us get together with our best tree every year in Bob's Campsite and Trailerpark, smoke brisket, drink beer and have a pissing contest as to who's tree is the best. We take a bunch of good pics post them on the internet or your magazine and voila. We're vindicated without all the high and mighty nonsense.
Don't you keep trying to sell something which noone is inclined to buy? Bonsai is not high art. For most it's stunting little trees in pots.
