I watch everything- from what shoppers are carrying to displays to artist interactions with customers - you name it, I mull it over. Now, I see artists who are in jeans, some are in dresses. Hell,…Continue

I really don't know- rain?

This Saturday is my next show and the weather is probably going to be rainy and possible thunderstorms. The event is a "held rain or shine" thing. I've never done a show in the rain and I really have…Continue

"I did it last year and oh my the dust was horrendous!!!   I thought people went more to "see and be seen" and sales were ok, just not worth it to go back at this time. There was good traffic and it was well organized. The other…"

"I guess the next question to follow would be: if you had access to both the original and the copied piece, would you publicly post both so that people could see that the "artist" is copying works? "Call them out", so to speak?"

Judy Christian replied to Jennifer Donald's discussion What would you do - plagiarism
"Well, they can send out a cease and desist order. This is what was suggested to me by an attorney when I had something similar happen to me. In my case, the person who did the copy decided they would not sell the item, and just put it in their home.…"

Chris Hoyt replied to Jennifer Donald's discussion What would you do - plagiarism
"I'm with martha. But first, register your original with the Copyright Office www.copyright.gov and then send them a formal letter of their infraction and the penalties for copyright infringement. It'll be the best $40 you ever spent."

Martha Giberson replied to Jennifer Donald's discussion What would you do - plagiarism
"If you talk to this person you might also want to mention that they may be reproducting a copyrighted image and there could be severe penalties not to mention hefty legal fees to defend themselves.   martha"

Years in the Art Fair Business
that's debatable.
First show ever
1994? I previously worked as a craftsperson at shows while my children were young.
What is your website?
http://www.jendonald.com
What are the best things about art fairs
I've met some of the most awesome artists and made a couple great friends.
Best show ever and why
Long ago, I used to create hand embroidered, sequined and beaded Christmas stockings. Best show was nearly a sell-out, people lined up to get them, and a LOT of custom orders!
Worst show ever and why
The last one at Rivahfest! It was so incredibly HOT and the 10k+ patrons just weren't buying. At least I didn't lose money as a lot of the other vendors did.
Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
