I went from artist to artisan....I now design and make coffee tables from vintage piano wood and tree slabs.....also make wall hangings and other tables. Looking for events where my products fit..
thanks

Sal, you would need a truck or trailer most likely for any show you would do. An option would be to rent a truck and do a few shows. If things looked good, then you could consider buying one. Also, look around at shows and see what kind of vehicles other artists with large loads are traveling in. Talk to artists who have large loads and ask them what they use. Doing that may give you a better idea of which direction to go in in the future.

Sal, have you done any shows before? There are art shows strictly for recycled/repurposed things. Remix Chicago is one.
This one is by BWAC in Brooklyn: http://bwac.org/2015/11/recycle-2016/
This is one in Sanra Fe: http://www.recyclesantafe.org/

Recycled shows are not as common as fine art shows and it doesn't mean you can only do recycled shows. It looks like you paint, too.
