Just signed up! Been at this a good long while but can always learn something new.


Was searching the WEB for ideas about booth design for my 10 x 10 for my  Paintings both on canvas (Walls) and works on paper (bins). Found this very nice Ning!

This is the first I’ve used a pop-up tent for art shows. I’ve done a lot of different types of art Fair/markets over the years, more as a jeweler than as a fine art painter. Started out in San Francisco (early '70's) as a street artist, with my jewelry pin to fabric covered boards inside an aluminum salesman case (very thin and long). Now I’m looking for reasonably priced walls and bins, which are lightweight and easy  to use  that are classy. Appreciated some of the remarks about using a directors chair…thanks.

I’ve been accepted to a weekly Saturday Art Market in Santa Fe, NM, set-up is based on the Farmers Market times…so very early for most of the summer!

Propanels is the most common. Prices might be on the high end, however check the classified area on this site as well as places like craigslist and other discount places. On Trimlines site there are some wall set-ups. You just might have luck looking up retail supply sites - gridwalls are commonly used among artists as shows too. Good luck!

Michelle,
Thanks. I have some 2 x 6’ grid that’s very heavy and have used for small indoor events and a permanent booth a few years ago. The Pro-panels are very nice and expensive, I just might have to go that route…I haven’t seen a lot of choices available!
