With just one outdoor show under my belt, I'm ready to try more. I've been accepted into the City Place Art Festival in West Palm Beach, FL on March 5-6, and I'm waiting to hear from the Virginia Beach Boardwalk Art Show on June 16-19. I've selected
Art Squared: The Art Fair at Overton Square is in Memphis TN in April. It looks interesting but I'd be going a long distance to do it. Anyone know anything about it?
I'm brand new to the world of art shows and curious if anyone has offered a deal involving free shipping and tax on orders placed at art shows. Around my area (metro Chicago) some retailers have begun offering "we pay the tax" sales.

I did a couple of festivals last year with borrowed gear, and it is time to invest in my own now. I purchased used knock-down pro panels but didn't realize they were 8 feet tall when assembled, so I don't think an EZ-up tent is going to cut it any mo
I am entering my 10th year of participating in art fairs, mostly in the western U.S. I will also admit that I have struggled over the years with producing a high quality booth image. I normally shoot a booth image one the summer, usually outdoors.
I'm just dipping my toes into the art show arena, and at both of of the non-juried shows I did last year, I brought a work in progress to work on because the thought of sitting with idle hands for eight hours made me crazy. It's also a great ice brea
This is what my bank has switched to with processing of sales through First Data. Is anyone else using it and what should I watch out for in the upcoming summer show season? Thanks and Happy New Year.
