- What are the best things about art fairs
- Besides being outside the best things are the community of other artists, the ability to show and sell work and speaking with people who are interested in all kinds of art.
- Best show ever and why
- St. Clair Shores art fair on the boardwalk. I didn't actually make much as far as sale go but the atmosphere of the show area was wonderful and the people who run it are really helpful. It attracted a lot of people and the other artists were top notch.
- Worst show ever and why
- Belleville Strawberry festival. It turned out to be more of a carnival than an art show. Most of the vendors were selling things like garage door openers, bought items and advertising local businesses. There were only a few of us there that were actually artists and we did very poorly sales wise. Plus the people attending weren't interested in art to begin with.
