Art Fair 101 - Art Fairs - Not Nearly What I Expected

8871135053?profile=originalOn December 20 at 3 pm we will host a live discussion with four artists who are relatively new to the art fair business. We had many requests to be on the panel but these four were chosen because of their persuasive emails. If they can speak as well as they write we are in luck! They represent four different media and are from different areas of the country and have disparate backgrounds. I've never met any of them nor spoken to them (except for one) so this will be a surprise to all of us. 

Not only will you get to listen live you will also have the opportunity to ask questions of the panel.  You will find the podcast/radio program at this link:  http://www.artfairinsiders.com/page/radio

Mark your calendars and join us on Tuesday, January 10 at 5 pm ET, as Connie Mettler talks again with fiber 8871897300?profile=originalartist Barbara Poole, painter Caroline Kwas and photographer Michelle Wermuth about their art fair experiences. All three artists are new to the business having started in the last two years and have lots to say that even seasoned artists will find interesting.

These artists were chosen because they are from different areas of the country (Barb in Boston, Caroline in Florida and Michelle in Kentucky) and have different media. In addition, both Barb and Caroline have explored the country, Barb has been coast to coast and Caroline has been out on the road in an RV. I chose Michelle because she has stayed close to home balancing work, kids and the shows, like many other beginners in this business. Although they are all new to the business all have been working in their chosen field for many years so they were ready with the work to be shown but had much to learn about the business.

We'll be talking about their biggest disappointments, their biggest surprises, advice to other newcomers and their plans for 2012. It should be a great discussion.
