What are the best things about art fairs

Meeting new people and making money while doing something creative.


Best show ever and why

Last December I took over planning the event in my town. I worked like a crazy person since I only had 3 weeks to plan the whole thing. I didn't make much money since I wasn't at my booth very much but I loved planning it and helping the other businesses.


Worst show ever and why

A show in a town down the road from me. Less than 20 people came through the door and many of the booths didn't even show up. Made my booth space back but not much more.


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

I found you through a Google search about Canopy tents.


What is one fun fact about yourself?

I have a unique name that I love and am a very creative/think-out-of-the-box type of person.
