Years in the Art Fair Business

Just starting out - am a new business in the arts


First show ever

Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival - did photos of participants for donations to Lighthouse Museum


What are the best things about art fairs

Chance to network, meet new people and see what seems to sell and what doesn't and why.


Best show ever and why

Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival - all kinds of artisans attended, most geared to nautical or lighthouses but lots had wide variety to offer. Great people/community pulling together and it was in its 15th year.


Worst show ever and why

Quilt/Fiber show in Phoenix, AZ - not a lot of quilts or artisans, mostly trade people pushing people to buy and majority not geared to quilters or fiber artist, i.e., selling vacuum cleaners, rugs, etc. and had tiny area geared to selling of fiber artist materials, fabric and/or quilts and patterns.


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

Over crowding. Was a quilt/craft show held in a tiny church and only 6-8 people could be in the room at any given time. Room had no circulation so became unbearably hot to point where I almost passed out.

    I am in and out with school. Tuesday and Thursday after 11 am or anytime Friday are best time to reach me. Friday I don't have any classes but usually lots of homework almost as though the Profs are afraid I might have a little fun. Hope to talk with you soon. Take care.

    That would be wonderful. Tell me what I need to have to get started. Perhaps when the weather lightens up a bit, we could get together. Would love to meet you face to face, as well as figure out where I know you from . I'm not in Ossineke proper, but between there and Alpena - I'm approx. 8-10 miles south of Alpena and about 2-3 miles North of Ossineke proper. Send me a private email to oneshawman@aol.com and I'll email you my phone number, would love to chat with you. Thanks and looking forward to meeting you sometime.

    Namaste - Terri
