Art Fair Insiders

Call for Artists, Making Money at Juried Art Fairs, Craft Shows and Festivals

Art fair network for artists exhibiting at juried fine art fairs and art festivals. Info on best craft shows, call for entries nationwide.

Welcome to Art Fair Insiders - The #1 Social Network Community for Artists!

Kind of new to this kind of networking. Looking forward to what it's all about. Been traveling selling art for nearly 30 years!
Thanks for having a place for artists.--David Bennett

Hi Connie...I love what you have built here!!! I remember seeing it a year ago, in its infancy...WOW!It has become a thriving toddler ;-)Thanks for getting the party started!!--Lizz Harris

I just joined and really love the discussions. As I am just starting out, I find myself second guessing my decision at times... Hearing from others with like minds and passions is really comforting to me and helps to take away the fear and only leaves the excitement of things to come. Thanks.--Angel White

Now we can keep in touch year 'round - even when it's snowing in the Midwest or hurricaning in the Keys. Please join us if you are a working fine artist or craftsperson exhibiting at fine art shows. Share your thoughts in the discussion Forum or post some photos in the Photo Gallery. Don't forget to invite your friends! -- Connie

Mount Dora Prize Winners

Unlike Fort Myers (see Bert Herrera's posting) where the prize money had hit hard times, Mount Dora passed out their $5000 Best of Show award and many more. The Best of Show winner, James Casey, of Clermont, FL, was "shocked, totally stunned, and emotionally overwhelmed." Congratulations to James, a part time artist, who will be back at Lowe's working in the garden department soon. Read the rest of the story he… Continue
