All same kind of items in booth?

Posted by Jeff Zelnio on August 16, 2012 at 2:16pm in Welcome to Art Fair Insiders!

Hello, I am getting ready to go to much higher end shows after success at smaller fairs.  Often I see booths that stay in one type and I create mosaics in jewelry and sculptural form. Do you think it will be well received to combine two types of areas or should I just focus on the jewelry and maybe have a digital photo album of my sculptural work.  Would prefer both of course so I can hit more price points. It looks like there is more leeway in mixed media categories but would appreciate any advice.

Thank you!

Jeffz

    If you jury in jewelry, no one will complain if you have a smaller amount of sculpture also, especially if it's in your booth jury image. But if you jury in sculpture you can't have any jewelry, unless you're doing lower quality shows that are happy to get enough exhibitors.

    If you juried in with pictures of both, then I would think it would be OK to display both.  I'd divide them up, possibly one side of booth Jewelry, the other side the sculptoral work.  

    If you only juried one type in, then you may not be allowed to show the other.   The show may have a different limit on jewelry than on sculpting.  I'm not sure they would be accepted as just "mixed media".  

    I would send in photos of both types of work, a picture of how you want to display it, then an explanation of the mix.
