What are the best things about art fairs
Selling and meeting interesting people.
Best show ever and why
A Chicago show in which I met a man who said he had to save some money to buy my art, came back a few months later and bought 7 paintings!
Worst show ever and why
In Long Grove, IL. No one seemed to understand my paintings, and perhaps I priced them to high for the venue. I didn't sell a thing and the whole time I was stuck between a popcorn vendor and a bead-costume-jeweler. I cried all the way home and asked God to help me find a real job.
Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
No one. I searched for a place to sell my tent as I'm moving to Texas.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I like to dress "to the nines"
