"The St. Louis Art Fair just completed a 'mock' jury. Here is the link to the jury results, suggest looking at the various booth arrangements. After you look at several dozen of them, you will start to get a feel for what booths are attractive, and…"
"Thanks Mark! I appreciate picky. And another vote for hiding the straps. I'm curious if people keep things like weights and tables out of the booth pic they're submitting to shows, but use them during. And good idea on the gray panel orientation.…"
"Thanks Richard, I was wondering about the straps myself, so good point. Inventory may be an issue, maybe forever based on how long it takes to make each piece. At the moment, 10 feels like a good number without being too crowded, especially when…"
"Very nice but tie down straps are distracting. I am a large inventory person and it struck me that if you want a $10K show you dont have much inventory. Do the demographics of the show suggest single purchares of very high dollar wood sculpture?…"

"Thanks Connie! Let's hope that past experience counts for something, since this can sometimes feel like starting junior high all over again. That is if you had to bring a tent to junior high and display all your school work."
"Indeed! At least in that I can't help but find the mistakes in usability. Old habits die hard."
"Hi Jeremy! Welcome. Your background in UX design will be most helpful when applying to shows via online services. LOL. Just kidding.

"Thanks for joining us. Yes, doing that first or second show definitely teaches you a lot. Scouting, attending events nearby also adds to your future success. It also helps to zero in on the booths that you see in your own category to learn what to…"
Hi everyone. I am a new Art Fair Insider member, and new to art fairs in general. I am a sculptor who, with untold support from my very understanding wife, quit my 25-year digital UX design career in March of 2020 (superb timing) to give the…
