I'm a newbie on the art fair market. I have a Light Dome canopy. I need to buy some mesh panels. Most of what I've seen are white, but I've seen that you can special order colors. Creative Energies offers color at no extra cost (black or grey). I would like some advice from you professionals. Since I have work to hang would grey look more professional than white? As I grow in this market I will eventually get panels and grey would most likely be the color.
My art is wood working so the color of my art varies from white (basswood) to dark (mahogany). Some of my work does have some color (highlights with oil stains). I'm thinking something other than white would give a more professonal look. The stands I'm using for my sculptures are black. I was thinking grey would be a nice highlight and make the stands and art pop instead of just blending in or being against a white background.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

HI JIM,
I have some mesh panels for sale in the classified section. They were only used once and are from Creative Energies.
They are white, and I'm shipping for free. Take a look at the ad and let me know if you're interested.

But I do suggest that if you go with white, which you probably should, you should make sure to keep your canopy sides down to cut down on the amount of backlight which may make it difficult to see your work in detail. That's what I planned on doing.

Oh No!!
So sorry to hear that! Hope she recovers well! Please tell Mary we wish her well. I don't know what I would do if I broke an ankle....I've only ever broken a toe!!
Baby Elvis is adorable... is Xena handling being Big Sister well? I know my Daizy would be very upset if we got another dog- but she's eleven and is used to being the baby here!
Take care of Mary, and keep us updated on her and Elvis!!
I would go with the white- the gray will darken your tent considerably, making it more difficult to light. White is always the best bet- it allows as much natural lighting as possible, thus you have less equipment to schlep. Also, if you don't have access to electricity, as often happens, lighting could very well make or break the show for you. Just my opinion. The less hassles we create for ourselves the better, IMHO!
