What are the best things about art fairs
Meeting so many different people and hearing their comments about my work. Talking to other vendors. Coming home with empty or almost empty product cases!
Best show ever and why
Hot Glass Festival in Staunton VA. Being around so many other glass artists was invigorating and eveyone was cordial to each other. Attendees came specifically to shop for glass....and shop they did.
Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
One of my customers at a recent show - I do not remember her name.
