You're welcome, Susanne...best of luck to you!
Hi Susanne,
Welcome to our group here. We're glad to have you.
I second all the info above, in addition, having a theme and working within a niche sets you apart from the other artists and helps with the jurying. The more you specialize the more y…
Thanks for your reply Geoff. I really appreciated your feedback. It does confirm my original belief in working within a niche but I was beginning to doubt it and wanted an opinion from other artists. We have moved so many times due to my husbands wo…
Hi Susanne,
In a friendly way ;-), I'm going to take issue that buyers "are only likely to want one" of your themed works. I am a nature photographer specializing in birds and sell to a niche market, too. I typically sell over two pieces per custome…
Thanks for your "2 cents" Ben. What you are saying is what I had thought and that is why I had been focusing on the one theme but it's good to get confirmation from someone else with more experience.

- What are the best things about art fairs
- Meeting the people who like and buy my art and watching the world go by.
- Best show ever and why
- I have only done about five festivals and for the first three it absolutely poured and no one came. The best one was the most recent. The Queen West Art Crawl at Trinity Bellwoods Park in Toronto. The weather was fantastic, the atmosphere great and I ended up selling a very large piece.
