I've been trying to upload some photos to my page here in AFI and I'm getting nowhere. Anyone have any suggestions on how to use these mobile devices on this site? I don't use our laptop..I hardly know how to open it, so I'm stuck TRYING to use my mo
The really excellent Cherry Creek Festival in Denver was held this weekend. It is one of the best in the country and a bit of a bellwether for sales around the nation so I'm always waiting for the reports.
I got accepted to St. James this year, and its my first "away" festival. Up until now I've only done shows in Ohio, so I'm sure what the best way to go about finding the tax information would be. Such as do I need a transient vendor license, if so wh
Last weekend there was an art fair in Michigan that advertised itself as a Top 200 ranked show in the Sunshine Artist rankings, ostensibly to attract artists to apply. Here's what I heard from SA General Manager, Joe Halbrucker in response to some hi

I have just started doing art fairs and need a tent for outdoor shows. I live in Iowa and could travel to surrounding states. Please provide pictures and prices. Thanks, Jan
They are at Fountain Square in Evanston this weekend. First time I've seen them up close and personal, but I don't always walk entire shows. Anyone know if they were at Wells seeing as it is the same organizer?
Please forgive me because I know this topic has been done to death.
After years with my cheap Costco Caravan, I'm finally ready to bite the bullet and purchase a heavy-duty canopy. I've got it narrowed down to Trimline or Light Dome. Talk me into o
has anyone ever done either one of these shows. I have a daughter getting married Sept. 1 and need a quick show for some extra cash!!! Want it to be local, I am accepted to each but need to make a decission, don't expect to make much ,just a fast $1
I just did my first tent show and learned a lot about what NOT to do. I found this site about a week before the show. The advice to attend a show before getting a booth is good. If I had, I might not have invested my money and time in th
i have had lots of experience putting on tight jeans in my life but nothing is more challenging than zipping up a caravan tent. and tonight at manayunk, we broke the zipper -- about 2 inches from the top 2-3 teeth are out. now we are going to have to
