Hi All,
I read some other posts about creating your own panels. Here's a blog post I did on the subject. But here's a photo.
I have a one-day art show. I preferred to not use the gridwall display because I don't like the see-thru aspect of them. I

Hello,
I have seen people put a cross bar through the accordion framework of a pop-up canopy to suspend curtains or banners and the like. I'm curious how much weight something like a Caravan canopy can hold.

This is an actual show pic from this past weekend and represents my usual set up. I had no way of ironing tablecloths. Please advise, but be as gentle as you can. It's been a rough morning already.
Making a custom table cloth - the lazy way!
Table coverings are a frequent topic and I thought I would share how I make mine. I cannot express how few sewing skills I have. I also think if you do most of the prep work, you could take it to an alterations person and get the single seam made for

I have my own ideas on how to build my tent weights, but my question is is it better to have the weights hanging and attached (bungee corded) to the legs or to have the weights sitting on the ground? I really value the experience in this group and I

I have a tendency, when I am setting up my booth, to group paintings into arrangements that I would like on my own walls at home. My dream, of course, is that someone comes in and buys the whole grouping, but beyond that, I tend to group pieces toget

After many years of doing shows, my white drapes are beginning to wear and the black drapes are fading. It's time to freshen up my booth.
I'll be keeping the grids and the frames that display my jewelry.

My first time setting up and first attempt at a booth shot
I just finished building my display panels and wanted to do a pre-setup of my booth before my first art fair in 2 weeks. I admit it took a bit longer than I imagined it would and of course even though we are in a huge drought here in Southern Califor
