My First Experience as a Jury Member
Posted on January 31, 2012 at 11:28pm 10 Comments 2 Likes
I was asked to be a jury member for a state wide artist association. Artists from my state were applying for membership in the association, not for a show, so it was different than the jury process for art fairs. Still, it was very interesting. Here is what I learned:
1) Sharp, clear photos are extremely important. Some were a bit out of focus, made even worse when projected.
2) Detailed descriptions of technique and materials were more helpful than artist history or…

I made a time lapse video of setting up for a show. Turned out OK for my 1st little movie. It's embedded at the bottom of my tips page.
Enjoy!

Your time lapse video is very nice, Robin, and your booth display is quite elegant! I've been looking for an easier way to do shows than lugging my heavy tables around. I don't want to replace them with tables, but with something like you show in your video, where it collapses into a smaller container for transport. What are those white units you use? Where did you get the? If you don't mind sharing...

I agree! It was ridiculous what they were asking for booth, AND electric! I hope they get something fixed because CWE has always been very good for me, sales wise.

I've thought about joining the GSLAA also. Seems like a great group! Have you heard anything about CWE this year?

Hi Robin! I did the Spring Art Fair at Queeny Park last year, and did not do well. There were tons of people, I don't know what happened, but, it has scared me off from repeating this year. I may try the fall Queeny Park art fair. I've done lots of other St. Louis Art Fairs, and done very well. I'm thinking about expanding my radius from St. Louis to 350 miles this year.
