"I don't know when some shows decide to notify waitlisted artists that they are in the show. I was told that I was number 1 on the waitlist show for the Neptune Festival in Virginia Beach. After waiting 3 months, I was notified just…"

Hmmm Wait Listed.....
Should I be flattered or disappointed? As a "newbie" to the art fair circuit, I guess that I should be pleased that I have been accepted to most shows that I have applied for and I have been wait listed for a couple of really reputable shows...My question is.... does anyone know the percentage of artists that get wait listed for a show and what are the real possibilities of getting accepted once on that list?See More
