I was just thinking...it would be a good idea if Art Fair Insiders had a tab designated to Art Fairs ratings. This way everyone could get educated on what fairs are geared towards artand which ones…Continue

I have a passion for painting and in the same time I enjoy designing and making jewelry. A friend suggested not to apply for both if I want to get accepted in any show. She  thinks it is considered…Continue

"Understood. HRI and those like them do not belong in Art shows. Next question then . Lets say I am the designer of the product (kit). I cut the parts, assemble the "kit" and do all the work to get to the finished product. Does this…"

"Art... I am sure you see HRI at many shows as do all of us.  Rarely the same "artist" (if I may call them that) is selling the product.  I look at them the same way I look at the stone birds and Mistura watches.  "

Larry Berman replied to Cornelia Haymes's discussion How would you like to have the option of rating ART Fairs?
"Depends on the nuances of your medium. Photography is not a medium of reproductions, it's multiple originals because nothing exists until it's printed.When I meant competition, I meant to get into the show, not once you're in and…"

"Thanks Larry. If I understand the painter comment. It is OK with the art vendors to have reproduced paintings if allowed. The buyer would also be aware  that they are reproduced/prints. Miss representation is the issue. With that is it wrong to…"

I'm sort of new to the site also. I know that under the "members" header there is a "groups" link - There you will find different mediums to get involved in. I have seen some other Illinois artists on the site - not really sure how many, but I think that most don't post on the map. You may also try to get involved with the Chicago Artists Coalition or so other group in your area.
As for products I use and subjects - I've developed a technique using Golden's Glazing Liquid (gloss) and a variety of lesser quality pigments to paint in a series of layers giving the acrylic paintings a great deal of depth. I try not to venture too far from my main topic of cityscapes.

Stay away from anything that the Chicago Special Events people are doing - They make money and really don't care about you at all - Over a grand to do the show on Wells Street, once all expenses where in.
I do get a lot of e-mail about events that are put on by Alderman Rey Colon (reycolon.org) most are down on Division Street area ( Sort of artsy - had a show at the Black Walnut Gallery there)
Getting the booth shot would be easier if you did a smaller show or two first - the shows that request a booth shot are ussually a little mire competative that the ones that don't.
The wb site could go on the back burners - I find it is a good way for people to contact you after they met you at a show - but hords of people aren't out there seaching the web for art to buy!
Good Luck!!

Yes I'm a down-stater, but that puts me in a good position as I'm four hours from lots of major markets ( Chicago/St Louis/Indianapolis/Des Moines/Madison). You need to post some images of your work!
I'll be in Elmhurst May 2nd and 3rd - don't know what booth yet - If your not doing anything come check out the show!
