What are the best things about art fairs

selling - talking to customers


Best show ever and why

Utah Festival of the Arts - I was on fire. Couldn't sit down more than 10 minutes before another customer came into the booth. Also, the Ellsworth Ave Street Fair in Pittsburgh two years running. Very exciting.


Worst show ever and why

Del Mar Park, Pasadena CA. Couldn't even sell a $20 print. Had to borrow money to get home. Same with a show in Chicago and Des Moines that year, 2004.

  • Yes, Michael, you could leave that in your profile -- dumb as a skunk ... but doubt it is true. Thanks for joining us. Look up above at the Tabs, and click on the "Get Started" and you'll find lots of answers.

  • Hi Michael:

    You received bad advice about the carpet adhesive. What I recommended works fine, never any bleeding through - it's rubber based.

    I don't understand why you're are dealing with square corners??? I am re-sending the E-Manual to you by separate email which may help answer your other questions.  Thanks, Ernie

  • Thanks for your E-Manual Purchase Michael. How has it worked for you? Ernie
