Patty replied to Betsy Hughes's discussion 'What is the best way to cover grid walls for indoor show?'
We had heavy grids that we covered with indoor outdoor carpet, like you get from home depot on the roll. if the back doesn't show, you can wrap it around like a present and use heavy twine to "sew" it onto the grid - some time…
Patty replied to Gus Schoenamsgruber's discussion 'liability insurance'
Does anyone know have any experience with this insurance? Claims, customer service- I can't find any info on them, not listed with the BBB, I can't find any reviews on them, or Stratus, at all, or find them on Great American,…
Patty replied to Geoff Coe's discussion 'Florida vs. Northeast summer markets'
My experience has always been that sales are better generally in the north east than Florida for the reasons Nels has said- they have a short window of pleasant weather and they use it. Floridians know there will be another show near them next…
Patty replied to Chad jerzak's discussion 'Credit card processing?'
Jay, what do you mean by having Gopayment put your transactions above the estimates on an expedited payment status? I signed up for the gopayment plan of 12.95 per month, I was told I had a limit on our monthly processing and to raise that, I…
Patty replied to Rick's discussion 'Arizona Boycott?'
You know what I think about illegal immigration?
It's ILLEGAL.
It's not racist to enforce our own laws. And the new law isn't very different from the law already in place anyway- the AZ law did what was truly intended- brought the…
Patty replied to Jan Raven's discussion 'Florida business registration??'
I know they want you to sign up for a number if you do more than one show in Florida- I've done one, sometimes 2 in the past without a number. Most of the shows I've done have provided me with a sheet to file my taxes to Florida after the…
Patty replied to Teri Biehl's discussion 'Extreme Newb Questions'
A few years ago, a fellow artist got her purse stolen from the back of the INSIDE of her booth where it was under a coat in her private space, right under her nose. I always have my money on my person. As a newbie, you should take this route first!…
Patty replied to Michelle Sholund's discussion 'Renaissance Festivals - need your opinion'
I have done ren faires for 19 years- in several capacities... I also do art shows with my beads- my suggestion is to work the fairs you might be interested in doing and do research through networking while you do. I make more money per day at art…
Patty replied to Jill Beninato's discussion 'Where do you sit at a show?'
I don't sit much while selling, but I have a stool to lean back on to rest while still keeping me at more or less eye level with people. I never sit in the front or outside, my table and stool are in one of the back corners, always somewhat…
Patty replied to Jill Beninato's discussion 'Light Dome "Used & Seconds" Sale'
check out the other discussion on tents, they are made by different companies and have different qualities and looks.....
Patty replied to Debbie Blanchard's discussion 'Help with what tent to buy'
I've had a light dome and now a finale, I loved both of them for ease of setup, the light weight and lack of a zillion parts. Have had the craft hut-similar to trimline, I think- much heavier, and sturdier. I've been through storms, rain…
Patty replied to Amy Atkinson's discussion 'Warning! Do not use TransFirst Merchant processing!'
I would also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau to help people avoid them in future- I still check to see what they have to say about a company before going with them-

- What are the best things about art fairs
- Being able to change where I sell, seeing the people who buy my work face to face, and getting feedback on my work, plus traveling to new places.
- Best show ever and why
- They keep changing- mostly I like festival atmospheres instead of street art shows, different than most, I think.
- Worst show ever and why
- Years ago I made 17 dollars, the name of it has been blocked from my mind.
- Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
- stumbled upon it accidentally when searching for shows.
