Medium sized, being Fairview, Lubbock...Small being l
Read more…I promised Connie I was going to post my review of this show. I don't know if I should post it on the review side or not because this is a total different business.
This is a show that takes place in the Chicago Merchandise Mart January 19th -22nd. I

Read more…From everything I'm reading on the forums and blogs both shows (St. Stephens and Artigras) are going downhill - there doesn't seem to be much positive news on either show. I'm juried into both and need to make a choice. I'll be staying with friends i
Read more…I am a mixed media jewelry artist from central Florida returning to the outdoor art show circuit, and I need a great display tent. I am looking for either a trimline, light dome or craft hut. Anybody out there have a gently used one for sale? I ha
Read more…I just was accepted into this show. It's tiny - just 60 artists - and it's a long way for me to go. I don't have any information about it, but it has existed for many years. Anyone?
Read more…Just a heads-up to everyone that they've extended their deadline. Got my wait list notification last week, the original deadline was March 31. Their Zapp listing doesn't give any indication that this is an extended deadline or that they're short on
Read more…Anyone know this 'famous' fair? So far have only found the advertising blurbs, no reviews from artists/crafters. I have heard in the past it was a hard show to get in and out of, but no clue what the tenor of the crowd is, it is a large crowd expec

Read more…Hi guys -- I saw a similar thread, but didn't want to hijack it with my question. Anyway, along with my original paintings, I have 24x36 inch prints for sale. Maybe in other areas it's different, but I know in Texas the spring shows tend to be wind

Thanks
Read more…I'm probably over looking this somewhere, surely this has been asked before but I can't seem to find it. I'm going to Artfest in Dallas this weekend and don't really know how (or when) to go about paying taxes when the show is over. The only fair I'v

Read more…Hi All, just wanted to pick your brains about the equipment you use to transport your art work from your vehicle to your booth site. In the past couple of weeks I have managed to read almost every post on all the forums (insomnia and a few bottles
