We just got invited to exhibit at the Riverwalk shows (they jury for the season rather than each show). Have any of you ever done these and/or heard about them from other artists. I know it will be all tourists but we actually tend to do well in that
Hi everyone! This is my second post to this forum. I have read many discussions of display equipment, but haven't found anything that would work for stained glass. About 80% of my work is best shown with light transmitting through it. Propanels are e
If anyone, artists or jurors, has a laptop (or desktop monitor) with that resolution, or any device with 768 pixels in height, vertical and square jury images will be cropped off top and bottom with the
I have been looking for some time for information and details on the Corn Hill Arts Festival in NY. I have only found a couple of short blurbs on it but no details. I would be grateful for any information on this event. Set up times, layout, etc.

Hello all, I haven't seen this show discussed on the boards or in the reviews section. Does anyone have any experience as an exhibitor or visitor at this show?
Alternatively, are there any questions you'd suggest asking a promoter when researching a
Any sugesstions on software or creating your own spreadsheet to keep track of sales and sales tax. I am not the most organized person and do not have a lot of time to use a complicated system due to my stressful day job.
Apparently starting in April Visa started charging an additional fee per month to merchants called a FAN fee and its a bit confusing as to how they determine how to charge you the fee. Can range from $2 up to $15 or even $35/month. With many va
Does anyone know of any websites or programs that offer a way to virtually set up your tent/wall display? I have all sort of sizes of paintings and its like a giant puzzle moving them around during set up (and can take several hours), but if I could
Do you name your car/trailer/dolly/tent, etc? I saw on another blog someone else named their trailer and I wondered "how many other people are goofy like me and name their stuff too?"
Personally, I have an SUV named Lola b/c she seems spicy and s
I ran out of cards a couple of shows back, and kept forgetting to make new ones. What I had been doing was making a folded card that was like a miniature brochure. It was printed on both sides and a pain in the butt to fold accurately. Printshops wou
Last night on Denver 9 news there was a video of a bear visiting the Rocky Mountain Candy Shop in Estes Park, CO after hours. Evidently their door latch wasn't catching and Mr. Buin came in got his favorite candy bar several times and either ate it o
I feel that I am at a bit of a crossroads with the work I display. I think I have way too much variety in my booth. As a photographer I shoot both Black and white and color. On my walls I primarily display color work with usually 12-15 larger pieces
I do paintings and prints, from 8x10 up to 18x24. Guessing I should have bags for the smaller stuff? For larger stuff, should I maybe wrap in craft paper or something? Any tips on where to buy some bags cheap or not in huge quantities?
Greetings from Thunderbird Artists! We felt it was time for a heart to heart newsletter – we have felt the economy these last few years along with the artists, communities and our entire country. As such, Denise and I felt it wa
Hi everyone, I'm new to the site, my name's Jenni. I do acrylic paintings and am doing my first art fair in a month. I've gotten a lot figured out just from reading on this site! Not really sure about locking my tent though. I have an 3z up with 4 wa
I'm from Florida. Has anyone ever done a cross country trip for an art show (like Florida to Washington, Oregon, CA or vice-versa)??? What have you learned from your experience? What would you change? Did you drive or were you able to pack and ship a
Just wanted some info regarding obtaining insurance for shows - per show rather than for an entire year. Anyone with any policies they really like, and/or agents? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
