I just did my third art fair this weekend. The first two where amazing, this one - not so much. I am having issues getting into better art fairs. I think my work is up to snuff, but I could be wrong. I think my biggest challenge is deciding what
So sorry to report that this very well regarded and extremely lucrative show in San Francisco has been cancelled for 2014. I received the letter yesterday from Roy Helms that the 2014 show is cancelled due to lack of applicants; he has promised to re
Hi, After reading about the devastion last weekend at a show, I am thinking about buying the artist's insurance advertised on AFI, does anyone have it or other insurance. I'd like to know what your thoughts are. I worry about my stock, equipment, car
I am new to art fair insider, I have a question if they are going to charge a gate the do they have to let you know on the application or before you get there. We were at thunder on the Gulf in Orange Beach, Alabama. When we got there they put us on
I just received an email from square, don't have time to check it our right now, but I believe it says that they have opened an online "Square Market" where you can set up a page and sell anything with no extra charges, just the 2.75 % ?? Need to che
In Connie's excellent video of the Lakefront Arts Festival in Milwaukee, I noticed that several artists essentially used a complete outdoor tent set-up within the huge show tent supplied by the event. Why?
Hi Friends
I have a possible theory that I am forming about shows in college towns. I have done 3 this year and am in the middle of the fourth right now. What I am consistently seeing is that they underperform in terms of sales. As of today, I have b
I got into three Howard Alan shows in Colorado this summer. I paid a $50 deposit on all three, but I can only do the first two, not the last one. I let them know that and they are saying that I "can't cancel" because it's less than 60 days. (It's 49).
We have had trouble with lack of cell signal in remote festival locations and so have used the old knucklebuster for credit card payments for years but I'm tired of the monthly fees and the yearly compliance charges. So I'm looking into switching cel

What if anything can anyone tell me about this show? I have been accepted and am wondering what type of atmosphere does this venue presents. Artsy? Crafty? Upscale?
This is the furthest we've traveled, (nothing compared to some of you). Any info
Anyone have anything to say about the Arlington Virginia show this past weekend? I had to cancel at the last minute due to a family emergency (all is well now). Did I miss a great opportunity?
I saw this event in ZAPP. It happens Nov 9 -10, 2013. I would like to add another November show but have not heard anything about this. Does anyone have any experience with it?
This is an old steel model, not the Express II, just plain Express.
The old nylon one it came with shredded. This was a simple sleeve and slipped over the top, and had webbing handles. The bags on their site have wheels and cost more than I paid fo
About half of the 140 artists participating in the "Wayzata Art Experience" had already set up their booths when the storm hit about 7:30 p.m. (Wayzata is a western suburb of the Twin Cities.) Winds were measured at 60-80 mph and lasted 15 minute
I am debating this show. Should I enter or not. I am about 4 hours away. It is over labor day weekend and would be three show days with a setup on Friday night. Has anyone done this show. I would like to do it, if it would be worth my time and en
This is my first year doing art fairs. I finally have a booth. I was wondering a few things, only doing two Art Fairs so far, Westport Art Fair, in Kansas City and Art in the Park in Lawrence.
