I've had a tough year so far with the shows, getting rejection after rejection. But I'm No. 1 on the wait list for painters at the Spring Festival on Ponce in Atlanta.
And I have an acceptance, one of my very few, for another show that weekend, Queen
The only review I can find is Colin’s from a few years back. At that point it was at a new venue. I understand that both the date and the number of artists have also fluctuated…too much for reliability? Wondering if it justifies a 4 hour drive. Thank
I have looked at the art show reviews but most don't have any reviews... Is there any place to get reviews by artists of shows around the country? Specifically the southeast. (I am sure there is a great probability that i just cannot find the review
After the interesting conversation a couple weeks ago about the value of hospitality, I had back-to-back weekend shows with minimal and maximal artist hospitality. I paid attention.
I did Paragon's Houston Fine Arts show, on Discovery Green, and had
Newbie here...I hope I am doing this correctly. I sell 2D mixed media. I am completing my Zapplication for the first time. For images: should I post images of my artwork hanging on a wall, or should I upload jpg's of my artwork? For clarification..
Everyone spends hours before and after a show wrapping, crating and securing their artwork and displays inside their vehicles ensuring that during travel no unusually large bumps or minor accidents will cause any damage to the artwork. But how about
First off, I am not a computer person! This being said I built my website on godaddy a couple of years ago. It was HELL!!! I have no idea if it is any good but I figured if someone wanted to see my work it was a place for them to go. I don't underst
I’m just in my 2nd year of selling my jewelry to the public and am slowly-but-surely getting out of church basements and into larger venues. The maxim “you get what you pay for” has never been truer than when it comes to shows, and I’m defin
Has anybody been to Celebration of Craftswomen or KPFA holiday craft fair in recent years? These are both fairly large indoor shows and I wonder if they have picked back up with the economy.
I've been shooting photographs of my 3D work on gray backdrop paper, creating gradation by manipulating my lighting. I'd like to short cut that process by using a backdrop that has the gradation on it. Does anyone have suggestions as to the best to u
So, I just completed my first art fair, it wasn't a big or fancy show but had big prizes, and is (apparently) trying to build up to something great. It was good, though not too busy, the weather was absolute perfection! I made a friend in the artist
i have a show coming up in a few weeks and have been working obsessively the last two months to get ready for it. The size of my kiln has been a growing frustration because of the limited number of pieces I can fit in. I need a new kiln!
The Downtown Denver Arts Festival that is held memorial day weekend is looking for a new location. Negotiations with the performing arts center have stalled. If you know of a good location that will embrace the show and have you have a string that ca
Amdur Productions has been running a show in the upscale suburb of Buffalo Grove for 15 years, around the middle of July. According to an article in the Journal Online, a paper that serves Chicago's Northwest Suburbs, the village of Buffalo Grove has
When we were on our to a craft show recently I had an idea. Or maybe it was on the way home, not that it matters. As some of you know sometimes realtors will give a gift to someone that closes a deal with them. This happened to us....the realtor gave
I participate in the surveys sent out by The Art Festival Newsletter. I just received the latest survey results, studied them, and now post the link to the pdf here for AFI folks to see. It's a very telling survey since younger and newer artists have
I have seen others using some narrow (like 18, 20 inches wide) folding tables in their displays, but have never seen any in stores. Everything I have seen is at least 24 inches wide, which is too wide. I could really use some in my studio, where spac
