Warning re "Toronto Art Show"

Found this in my email this morning and thought i'd pass it on---the first clue for anyone doing things like this online is the spelling and editing in the Artist submission pdf: "The Toronto art Leauge launches a full scale markerting campaign"

Note that this is a SCAM!!!!! 

"A SPECIAL WARNING FOR VISUAL ARTISTS - This post is for informational purposes only for anyone considering applying for the show mentioned below.  GAC received an email forwarded from Emma Quin, General Manager of the Ontario Crafts Council, addressing some concerns about the legitimacy of the Toronto Art Show.  Here are some findings reported by the OCC:  The three sponsors listed on the website - Tim Horton's, MacDonald's and Coca-Cola have all confirmed that they are not associated with the show. There is no vendors' agreement/license with the City of Toronto for the Toronto Art League or the Toronto Art Show to use Coronation Park, the advertised location of the show. They have been unable to speak with anyone directly at the show.

I suppose they're looking for huge entry fees...up front. I really hope they end up with over-sweetened coffee, cold burgers, and flat pop. Would serve them right!!
