It's a little cold today, although sunny, in Florida and I came up with this silly idea. We should have a Priceline for Artists, where we can name our own price for booth fees at art fairs. What do you think?
Hi everyone here on Art Fair Insiders...and after just being a member for 24 hours I have received so much information...Thanks a bunch for your very generous exchange of information, ideas and inspiration.

I am trying to find out what is needed in the way of licenses, permits, etc...

Trying to find info on shows within 6 hour drive from OKC. I just did Bayou City Downtown in Houston and it was brutal trying to get there and back while juggling with my full time job. These two qualify but can not find any info on the shows. Has

As we are reading different show rules regarding signs on booths, we are afraid we may have made a problem for ourselves with our choice of a business name. Our business is called Waldens Ridge Gallery, LLC.. However, we are not an actual art gallery
Krasl is having their open jury on Friday Feb 1st.
I can't even count how many times I've recommended attending one of these open juries, even if you didn't apply to that particular show. It's the best thing you can do to understand what you're compet
Hi all, I'm getting ready to apply to the Inman Park Arts Festival. I believe my work falls within mixed media 2D. It incorporates vintage items/boxes, elements found in nature and digital collages/montages. Usually everything is sealed in epoxy resi
Many people know who I am talking about if I say "the watch guys", and if you don't you can message me. Many people also know what a plague they have been in the art fair world. Well, we all had a little victory today. The "watch guys" had been acc
