What are the best things about art fairs

Direct sales and customer feedback for product refinement


Best show ever and why

Two shows/Two reasons: Fountain Hills, AZ, 2002; this was our Peak Show (with a different product) before the Bush Economy ruined the direct sales art business. Literally - and I do mean literally - nonstop sales the first day and very brisk sales the other two. Grossed double our show average. Lazy Daze A+C Festival, 2015; I won Best of Show - Photography!


Worst show ever and why

... That's a pain you forget... but any show that flat out lies about product mix (buy/sell), placement (removed off in a hidden blind alley), or any other aspect under their control.


Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.

I really do not remember... probably a Google search for a specific show or a reference in an email...


What is one fun fact about yourself?

I don't have any formal education in Photography... or the Arts... I can't even draw a decent Stick-Dude!
