First show ever
Way back in 1993, I was involved in two art shows, one at a local high school and one that was much more prestigious (which at that time I was not aware of) at a fall festival taking place in a park
What are the best things about art fairs
The best things about art fairs are the people you meet, both the customers and the fellow artists.
Best show ever and why
Applefest in Warwick New York. It was one of my very first shows--the day began with pouring rain but it cleared up by 9AM, right in time for business. The people were friendly, were enjoying my work and buying it too! It was one of my best shows as far as a motivation to continue with this venue!
Worst show ever and why
a local fundraiser--we spend more money than planned on the fundraising aspects of the event and although it was for a good cause, it was not planned in my budget and ended up being not the right venue for my artwork.
Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
I found this site completed randomly as I am now looking into buing a flourish tent as my next step to upgrade my craft fair business!
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I just love exploring being inspired by others and especially found objects, that otherwise may be on their way to the local dump site
