First show ever
A local Science Fiction convention in the mid 80s
What are the best things about art fairs
Getting feedback from patrons on one's work and chatting with other artists.
Best show ever and why
A couple of shows stand out. not that my sales were the highest there. One was a SF Con, where one of my item went to auction and an author and a publisher got into a bidding war for it. Another one was a local Craft Guild show where I was on the wait list. I was going to help a friend set up and watch her booth, when they got word that an artist had had car trouble on the way. Since I was there, I got the chance at the vacant booth. I had about 2-3 hrs to go home pack and set up and be ready for the preview party. I made it and I had good sales and LOTS of compliments.
Worst show ever and why
The show where 1/3rd of the artists left on Sat night, because of no customers.
