"That's from the Marion Arts Festival. If you think that one is good take a look at the one the put together a few years ago. They have some really creative people working for them.

"That may also have been posted here at one time. They were also enjoyed. You can't be exposed to too much humor.

Teressa Getz commented on Lisa Barrus's blog post I think I started the show circuit at the wrong time...
" to Leslie -- it's just all a matter of perceived value. Artwork at $60 (no matter what medium) at your $5/cup is 12 beers, but people don't think in terms of "wow, that's only 12 beers and here I've already had…"
Teressa Getz commented on Nels Johnson's blog post ESCALATING BOOTH FEES--IN THIS RECESSION WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
"PS... by attending a show for fit... I don't mean having a booth myself, but simply attending the show (and probably buying way too much!). On the other hand, I always have beautiful pieces of pottery to inspire me to get off the couch…"
Teressa Getz commented on Nels Johnson's blog post ESCALATING BOOTH FEES--IN THIS RECESSION WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
"I've spent the better part of a year working on stock, attending shows for "fit" and realizing that even if someplace is local, for an emerging artist a $500 booth fee (typical at the larger Dulles Expo center shows) isn't…"

"The economy and functionality has a great deal to do with it. The shows I attend in the Northern Virginia area, for pleasure and buying mind you, consistently there are more people in the booths and areas with beautiful but functional…"

"Steph ... that not only sounds like a money-saving show, but fun and challenging, too. One of our local ceramics groups had a show last spring that charged $50 to participate -- it was a learning experience geared to many new and local clay…"

"Has anyone tried organizing a "by artists, for artists" show? Decide upon a venue that is central or doable for most folks, then implement your ideas for how you want to run the show, be it a part of the gate going to participating…"

"Love Rick Woods' definition of the difference between craft and art. Sensible, straightforward and useful. Thank you for your post.
For me, clay is the perfect expressive canvas... from the expressive way glaze breaks over…"
Teressa Getz commented on Connie Mettler's blog post Moderation and Censorship
"Mostly I just lurk and read. Having spent nearly 20 years in the online community as a gamer and commercial game designer, I appreciate the role a message board plays in attracting and retaining "players." Whether a site is…"
Teressa Getz replied to Janeane Wilbur's discussion Hello from Carlsbad, CA
"Your profile page is lovely, and your paintings are appealing, too! Good luck with the show."
Profile Information
- Your Medium
- Clay
- Years in the Art Fair Business
- less than one
- First show ever
- local guild show at the end of April
- What are the best things about art fairs
- Having only the one show experience, and that not really an art fair, I have to answer from the perspective of a buyer -- which I am far too often!
I love craft and art fairs both. I love talking to artists, hearing their philosophy of beauty, what inspires their art, and at some festivals, the fooood. (Think Rennfaire!)
- Best show ever and why
- Since I live within some 15 minutes of Dulles Expo Center, my usual answer would be "the most recent show I attended!"
- Worst show ever and why
- Until recently, I've been a buyer rather than an artist selling, I can't say as I've ever had a "worst" show. They are all fulfilling or I have learned something.
