Do any jewelers out there have recommendations for lighting inside their display cases? Dynamic Display has really expensive ones, but I'm looking for a cheaper option. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
After a long absence from doing art fairs, I've started doing shows again so have gotten my fair share of rejections over the last 9 months... Got one for a one day show in Upper Arlington, OH and actually got the jury feedback about my work upon req
I keep hearing murmurings about this fabulous art fair in LaQuinta, CA. I believe it is near Palm Springs and occurs in March. It seems as though the City is fully behind the event and officials come out and buy art for their public art buying progra
An ongoing challenge for all of us is "crafting" sets of jury slides. I've been discussing this with a Psychiatrist friend of mine lately. Not that I'm in therapy or anything, but maybe that would be beneficial. Anyway I'm curious to know what factor
This year I will display at least 80% of my photographic work on canvas. I have been trying to find packaging material for customers other tan plastic bags. Some prints are as large as 20x30. as long as 16x36 or as small 8x12 or 8x10.
I'm getting ready to spend the summer in the Northeast, and I've got only one month of show experience there (last September) on which to base sales projections.
For those of you who have sold extensively in both these markets: How would you say you
Can anyone give me some insight into the Kipona show in Harrisburg Labor Day weekend. I have been accepted and am trying to decide between that show and a smaller show in Johnstown, Pa at the Log House Art Center. I have never done either sh
Ok. I am starting a new thread which will be on here on a weekly basis.
It s going to cover my discoveries being an on-the-road artist who does 35 shows a year on a regular basis. This will not cover my experiences at art shows.
I have a KD Kanopy and it's a good tent. Last year, during a couple rainy events, I noticed some small leaks in the tarp along the stiches. IRS basically new and I'm curious what folks like to put on their tents to seal stitches and spray your tent
I recently added hand-painted greeting cards to my inventory and have been enjoying painting them immensely. My fiance suggested I learn about protecting my designs from theft. Copyright? trademark? I sign each card. The back of each card
I'm doing at least May and June of a 5x Second Saturday's show (May-September) this summer already in North Kansas City. It's free so if it goes well I'll do more dates of it. I did 4 times of it last year and it was really slow. They changed the
I just read that gas prices have doubled since January 2009 and it really gave me pause! Although I know they've been high recently, I was surprised to read how low they were a little over two years ago.
Hi! Does anybody here works with encaustics? Have you bring them to outdoor art fairs? I'm curious about the heat during Summer, I'm afraid they're going to melt, should I stick to acrylics? Just curious, Thank you!
Hey all, I just returned from a long trip and noticed my plastic notecard boxes are badly worn where they have rubbed together during the trip. I take about 80 boxes. I suppose i have to seperate them with cardboard or something, but will that do
I'm going to be doing my first ever arts festival memorial day weekend (Dallas Artfest...which from what I've read on here hasn't been a great show for some people...hopefully it will be a good learning experience at least?) Anyway, I had been assumi
I'm doing an out of state show in NY (I live in Tucson AZ) and since I still work fulltime, driving the 3 days isn't practical. My folks live in the next city so I can stay with them and ship things to them as well.
Did anyone else see the notice that Beaver Creek reopened for applications? The new deadline is June 1, which is only a few weeks before the event. In light of recent discussions about deadlines being extended, I thought I'd bring it up. What the hec
I'm getting ready to do my first show of the 2011 season and just wondered if any other oil painters could tell me how their print sales have been this year.
I'm thinking of getting 5 x 7 prints that I'll double mat to fit an 8 x 10 frame (I'm not
