"We used the Armstrong panels for almost 30 years. As already mentioned they do allow for much more flexibility in displaying your work, it seems the configurations are endless. I think the mesh panels are really excellent for a lightweight easy…"
Ellen Empson replied to Laura Vu's discussion Pros & Cons: Armstrong Panel vs. Flourish Mesh
"We have used the mesh panels for 4 years and found them to be excellent. Sometimes it can be difficult to get the work to hang properly, but that is usually when the ground is not level and you can't or don't level the stay bars. The Stay…"

"Hi Laura,
My largest size is a 30"x40" but that is only one and it's not on display at every show. My regular largest is 24"x32" frame. I also show a 18x24" and a 12x16" as my 3 main sizes that are limited. I also…"
Dave Hinde replied to Laura Vu's discussion Photography in Art Show Questions
"I mostly agree with Larry on the limited edition question. I only number my higher end prints. Most of the shows I do are low-end or middle caliber shows, not the upper end like the Virginia Beach Boardwalk show (which is the only Virginia Beach…"
Larry Berman replied to Laura Vu's discussion Photography in Art Show Questions
"Limited editions, though it may be specified on many applications, is one of those rules that are never enforced except by Virginia Beach. Limiting is a marketing decision that should be up to the individual photographer, not a show application that…"

Photography in Art Show Questions
Hello Everyone,I've aspiration of doing an art show next spring. I was wondering for all the photographers that has done arts show in the past, what has been your experience with limited editions vs. open editions in shows? Also, typically how many duplicate photos did you have in each size? And what is the largest framed art work you have on display in your booth? My goal is to have some framed & matted prints to display my photography work, but just sell only matted prints in the…See More

"Sara - thank you for your insight. I was worried about the mesh walls not being sturdy enough in relative high winds as it is flat and can be quite windy here in TX (15-20 mph wind).

Sara Youngman replied to Laura Vu's discussion Pros & Cons: Armstrong Panel vs. Flourish Mesh
"Flourish mesh walls caught my eye. I'm a first year fair exhibiter and wanted to go with Trimline tent and propanels as I liked the solidity of them, but they wouldn't fit into my car. So I bought the mesh walls. They are great, the…"

"Larry - Unfortunately, all my friends in the industry are wedding/portrait photographers. Currently, I am looking on some classifieds/Craigslist/eBay for some gently used ones. I'm located in DFW, TX.
Thanks for help.

"Is it possible to borrow or rent a display so you have a minimal investment for your first show? Where are you located, which is something you should always state when looking for something that is too big or expensive to ship.

"Thanks for all the responses.
Larry - I drive a semi-big SUV so I've plenty of space to hull things around. I also have access to a truck.
I was thinking of hanging 8-10 framed pieces. The biggest issue for me right now is cost as this is…"
Larry Berman replied to Laura Vu's discussion Pros & Cons: Armstrong Panel vs. Flourish Mesh
"Kind of depends on how much space you have in your vehicle and how many pieces you want to hang on the walls. They both work but the panels are more flexible, take up more room in your vehicle and help the stabilize your display. The mesh walls are…"
Sheila Evans replied to Laura Vu's discussion Pros & Cons: Armstrong Panel vs. Flourish Mesh
"That depends on the model of tent. The Costco Caravan has a steel frame and is very sturdy. I used one for years. Good luck!
