cate woolner replied to Carol Lyon's discussion 'Selling rights to a work'
What is the deal with images on FaceBook? I have heard different explanatins. Who owns the images? How can FaceBook use them? If at all?
cate woolner replied to jorge Caligiuri's discussion 'Rights of your Own work'
Does anyone know the final word on whether or not FaceBook can use your work once you post it?

If unloading is far from set up, get some volunteers with dollies or carts to help.
Booth sitters for very brief perids of time (maybe 10 to 15 minutes max) so I can see other people's art. And so I can pee.

I get a slightly different question about my photos of Antarctica... "Did you go there?" (As oppossed to what? )

Connie asked that we move this discussion from the blog to discussions. Thanks to all.
Jim Parker commented on cate woolner's blog post 'need fresh ideas'
A couple of things:
Even though the u-shape may seem more inviting, the dark purple table seems to overpower the art on the walls. Giving your customers as much room to wander in will help -- you've paid for that 10x10 floor space. Use it…
cate woolner commented on cate woolner's blog post 'need fresh ideas'
I started with a right angled set up and the U shape felt more inviting. Once the snow and mud is off the ground here in Massachusetts, I can set up the tent in my yard and do just as you suggested. Thanks

I’ve been looking at the indoor-outdoor rug I have on my studio floor thinking how lightweight it is an how Velcro sticks on it and how could I use it in developing my booth walls…
As for your booth space, I tend to like white walls but…
Bill Sargent commented on cate woolner's blog post 'need fresh ideas'
You'll find yourself staring at your setup during the show and wondering what the hell is wrong with it. Your brain will go into sponge mode when you walk the show looking at other peoples' booths. Somehow you absorb what you need and wind…

Raya
thanks for your thoughts. What would you do with the rest of the space?
the bins are very stable. I am sure you could figure out how to hang them. I just use hooks for mine, through the fabric.
Raya commented on cate woolner's blog post 'need fresh ideas'
Looking at your booth photo, I’d suggest using a narrower table if you can (just deep enough to hold your 2 bins...make one if you have to) and put it against a side wall, Hang art above that maybe relates to your small matted work in the…
Raya commented on cate woolner's blog post 'need fresh ideas'
How do you like the bin (sorry I didn’t see it in the photo)? Does it hold a good number of pieces? Is it reasonably strong? Do you think it could be adaptable to other sorts of walls with some sort of other connectors/hangers?
I’ve…
cate woolner commented on cate woolner's blog post 'need fresh ideas'
Re the bins...there's one on the left in the photo. It does give a nice look and doesn't take up floor space. I am with you on the lightweight, simple, classy, easy to set up and take down. Sure doesn't feel like it now.
Raya commented on cate woolner's blog post 'need fresh ideas'
I’m looking at a similar dilemma. I just got my 10x10 pop-up and am now researching walls. The grids you have are light weight and less costly than the Pro panels but I don‘t like the way their “feet“ are designed (take up to…
cate woolner commented on cate woolner's blog post 'need fresh ideas'
Very reasonable response. Here is a photo. I have made some changes since this like black instead of white on the display grids.
Geoff Coe commented on cate woolner's blog post 'need fresh ideas'
Cate,
It is difficult to help you without more description of what you have already tried, and/or what you are currently displaying. How about a booth shot to show us?

I am a photographer, have a 10X10 tent and display walls to go with it. I am not thrilled with my set-up, how I display etc.. Ideas? Especially from photographeers but all ideas welcome.
