Artists are struggling to make sales and shows are trying to enforce their own rules. Everyone needs some help. I'm writing a booklet to help everyone recognize buy/sell, help show directors oust production studios and help artists and shows stop imposters from taking our spaces and competing for our sales. I need your help. If you see something fishy out there, take a picture, get a card, write down a name. You can do it anonymously if your worried, I'll take the heat. I'll do the research. Call me (941) 266-6434, e-mail me: SwayzeArt@msn.com, or say hi at a show. It's time for us to stand up together and protect our livelihoods! Together we can make a difference.</div>Can o' worms topic - Pricing for booth spaces - fair or unfair considering the economy?https://www.artfairinsiders.com/forum/topics/can-o-worms-topic-pricing-for2009-07-22T19:39:35.000Z2009-07-22T19:39:35.000ZMichelle Sholundhttps://www.artfairinsiders.com/members/MichelleSholund<div>I kinda feel I want to open the can of worms on this for the purpose of learning what others opinions are on the topic to move forward and implement solutions to the issue.
As booth fees are going up - and this could be for various reasons (higher advertising fees for example), do you find shows offering a better quality show or added value making the fees worth while? If not, what would you suggest to make higher booth fees easier to swallow?
Side note/food for thought: Promoters/show organizers can not guarantee anyone's success - it is up to each individual craft artist. - Michelle</div>
