I am a photographer who shoots wet plate photography and all pics are 1 of 1, most people do not know this process and how each piece is unique, dangerous, and difficult to make.

I understand that there are two sections of the Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival, one being the Chamber side. I can't seem to find who runs the other. Who runs the other, and are there any differences between the two?
The Plaza Art Fair thread exposes the failures of the jury system. I would like to know how a theoretical $40 jury fee for three images of work and one of booth is actually spent. That $10 per image pays for a 2 second look by how many jurors? What i
Some sort of malaise is setting in here for me. Not sure where it came from. After watching the presidential debates again last night I don't even want to hear any more news today, and I'm a bit of a news junkie. Is it just the continuous finger-poin

Immediately after hitting send I realized that I had not added the descriptions/info on my new Zapp pics- prices, year completed etc. Should I just write this one off and forget Bayou City this year? I am 99.9% sure there is no way to edit my app a

The shows have left my neighborhood but are in full swing on the East Coast, Florida and other warm climes. I just came across this article about the Estero Fine Art Show in Florida and noticed that everyone who was interviewed is a member of this si
This weekend I did my first fall festival/art fair. We set up our new Caravan Display shade (for only the second time and the first with my home made panels included), added PVC pipe weights at all four corners, cross tied it from the top front to b
I'm trying to decide which booth shot will look best to jurors. The first one with the mesh was what I used last year and got me into almost every festival I applied for, but the second with propanels is what my set up looks like now. Personally I
I was going to enter this show back in the spring but had date conflicts. It is a nice show in a charming town in NJ between Easton PA and Phillipsburg, NJ. Since this is the weekend of the show I called my daughter who lives nearby and asked her t
Every year we have worked to improve our image to the public at Art Fairs. I have used the sage advice of experienced AFI members, my great photographer Larry Berman and observations at every great Amdur Fair.
I make both pottery and jewelry and have been selling at shows for almost a year. So far, I am pleased with the results. I hope to tweak the shows I choose to do based on the experienc
Like a lot of others, I am reworking my booth for 2013 shows. Larry Berman told me I needed to raise my table height to 40” so here is the solution I came up with. It’s simple and easy to do if you are faced with the same problem. I cut pieces of 1”
I'm wondering what others think of this situation and if anyone would try to right this wrong, even if it did not impact them directly (but could impact fellow artists). I am aware that an "artist" acquaintance of mine, someone I met quite a few year
