What are the best things about art fairs

Selling Art to Appreciative, Excited Customers


Best show ever and why

Arts Alive 2017! Set the standard for me. Altho it had to be rescheduled due to Hurricane Harvey, the Art Center of Corpus committee ran an excellent art venue. Great communication, easy set up, booth sitters, artist snack room, attendance was very good, even with the change of dates. Overall it's the benchmark.


Worst show ever and why

Turtle Creek Art Festival. Beautiful, affluent area of Dallas. Very poor communication with artists. They sent emails out sporadically changing the rules for the day. Seems disorganized, I had expected a professional organization. We're not able to drive in. I have heavy late art pieces. Had to climb up n down park lawns which had dog poop and fire ant hills everywhere. It got all over my dolly. There were no booth sitters, no snack area, no one ever came by my tent 4epresenting the organizers. Not good.
