What are the best things about art fairs

Talking to people and selling artwork


Best show ever and why

Ann Arbor, Michigan. We sold $22,000 of our artwork and then did another show the next weekend and made another $10,000.


Worst show ever and why

Palatka, Florida. After setting up our booth, the National Guard lined up in front of every booth to protect us while a demonstration took place. There was no warning of this unless maybe you lived nearby and knew a Deputy Sheriff had shot a young black man. After the demonstration everyone in town was gone. No sales.
