It is my first time to display outside in a 10x10 EZUp. I have not purchased walls and am looking at cost. My art is oil on large canvas. I have seen anything from hanging with twine to using peg board. I am looking at cost and not want to spend f
I read some discouraging comments on this show and am struggling with whether to accept my invitation to participate. Has anyone had a good experience or have additional input? I will be exhibiting the weekend prior in Edina so that makes the decisio
When shows ask your sales totals are you OK with it? I've heard the reasoning that they use it for their advertising. Then I wonder if they use it to invite you back (or not)? Personally, I am offended when asked to share my sales dollar totals. W
Hi friends....if you read my last review of the Stillwater show, you heard about all of my broken work from the wind there! I have been trying to think of a solution and need any input you can provide. Here is a description of my rig and the scenario
I have seen "photos of work in progress" showing up on more applications recently. Some ask for photos of your work area. I would really need to clean mine up first!! Do you have someone take a photo of you working or just unfinished work? I would
I'm getting ready for my first big outdoor show, after having only done one very small indoor show. Since I'm just starting up I'm trying to keep costs low, but I'm a little torn on what materials to use. I was hoping to get some input on what I th
I know it has moved back to its original location. I looked for recent reviews without finding any (except for Geri’s, from the patron’s perspective) before I applied. I have been accepted.
I am also accepted to Winona IN, which I did once, 9 years
Hello there - this is for anyone who has done Old Town in Chicago in the past...
I took the plunge and applied for the 2013 Old Town Art Fair back in December. According to ZAPP, results come out "February 2013". No date, nothing. The booth fee woul
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the group, in fact, just moved to the US! I want to start participating in fairs but as I'm new, I would like to start slowly. I was doing some research and it seems like a lot of fairs are held in high schools or churches,
I did not get into any of the heavy hitters for that weekend. I backed up with Naperville and Three Rivers/Art in the Park, in Fort Wayne. I was wait listed for Naperville initially, then called off the wait list yesterday (probably because someone e
Hi everyone, I've been reading up and getting lots of good info here for the last 4-5 months. I just recently joined and figured it was time to introduce myself.
I'm an amateur photographer living in Seattle. I've been here for a little over 4 yea
Thanking you in advance, hoping you are up for some brainstorming.
Recently one of my clients, an elementary school PTA in a pretty well off neighborhood, has asked for a donation of a gift certificate for their silent auction. I'm thinking since pr
Ever since I've been in business (2008), I've had my website hosted by GoDaddy. But it's not as versatile as I'd like, and the page editing and e-commerce for photographers no longer suit my needs.
Does anyone have feedback on this November show? The deadline is April 1st and I'm wondering if it's still a good show. With an $1100. booth fee I'm hoping someone can tell me if it's worth it, in our current economy.
Hello everyone- newbie here. I'll begin by saying thanks for all the valuable info contained on this site. It has helped me tremendously as I gain my footing in the Art Fair world.
I've been fortunate enough to be invited to Uptown and Loring Park w
I just got an invite to Naperville Womens Club show July 13-14 2013.
