This may be an odd question, but I'd love to hear people's responses.  If you could only do 1 show this year (let's assume you would get in no problem), which would it be.  Why, etc., and doesn't…Continue

If you could only do 1 show this year......

This may be an odd question, but I'd love to hear people's responses.  If you could only do 1 show this year (let's assume you would get in no problem), which would it be.  Why, etc., and doesn't matter if you've never done it before....For me, living in Canada, I would pray to be able to do the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition again. The crowds were amazing, people were absolutely there to buy art, and no quibbling about prices.  Also, after having a great show, there was so much unique art that…See More

"Zapp have them listed, but deadline was long time ago so they are not there anymore, till next jurying. You have to be able to find that show, it is organized by their museum of fine art, so that may be the way.   Ana"

"Do you not have 1 piece of jewelry that incorporates both techniques?  I would have 1 shot, with the wrapped stuff, the next would be the bridge (wrapped piece incorporating pmc), last would be all pmc.  Of course, stretch this by however…"

"For me it's a no brainer except I would pick 2 shows, the Philadelphia Museum Show and the Smithsonian Show.  By far it has the best work and the most knowledgeable clientele."

What are the best things about art fairs
People
Best show ever and why
Spring 2010 One of a Kind Show, Toronto. It was my third show and I did my best ever, cause I was starting to have return people, etc. Also, LOVED my neighbours.
Worst show ever and why
Art at the Castle. My first BIG show. Didn't sell ONE THING!!! No one did!!! It was not advertised, people paid $15 to get in to see the castle (mostly families with small kids, etc). Great thing though.....It couldn't go anywhere but up. Did $1500 at a tiny ($50 fee) school show 1 month later:)
