What are the best things about art fairs
The people!
Best show ever and why
Blue Ridge Arts Festival because of the location, quality of the people, smooth running of the event. And SALES!
Worst show ever and why
BBQ & Brews Cold rain. It was early on during the virus and we went to anything that was open to get in front of people.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

"Hi Mary,
Since it's longer than 10 feet we buy a double booth. Which I don't mind at all. The setup is so easy, and the walls hold our clocks straight. And with solar I have built in fans and lighting.
So far we're finding that the bigger shows…"

"Love your set up. We have a similar issue with applying to shows requesting the "only" white 10x10. We use our homemade wood sided trailer with homemade canvas awning pull outs (the artist creation), and need to search for shows that are not so…"
"Oh Amanda that would have been perfect and you're so close to! But we ordered a booth and it just arrived."
"You should make this it's own post. Start a new thread and it will sell.

"Hi Jodie I am thinking of renting and or selling my entire set up soon- I am in Asheville NC- I have a set of dark gray propanels with the top exensions and a super tall booth with awnings... lmk if you are interested I am figuring out pricing now…"
"Oh yes, that first sale!
I started the business going to Germany and having my cuckoo clock designs made. It was a whole different ball game when I made the decision to become my own source of supply and after four years of learning and developing…"

"Light Dome and Trimline are the gold standard in art show tents. Trimline is a little more sturdy but more expensive and complicated to set up. I bought a used Trimline and then sold it and went for a new Light Dome a few years back. If you order…"
"I have to buy a tent as well, so I can by one they will fit. I hear good things about the Light Dome."
"I'd get 7 foot panels. They might be a tight squeeze but should fit in most tents. That's what I used with my Craft Hut and then Light Dome. If you have a pop up tent you should consider 6 foot panels with legs that extend so they can go 7 foot…"
"Very good points.
What are the pros and cons of the higher panels? For the tent I assume a taller one helps people to see in better?
Thanks so much for your help.

"You can choose a color that sets your clocks off. The last thing you want is people complimenting your booth, not the artwork. Besides, Pro Panels sets up and breaks down really fast and are light weight. Carrying an extra panels or two gives you a…"
"I talked with the man from ProPanels and he said the same thing; that the full panels are sturdier. I have a big van, so space isn't an issue.
My pushback on the ProPanels is that they are so not creative. But perhaps that's a benefit as then the…"

"Good ideas Robert. I did see the home made booth posts. Some were real nice, but a lot of work for just me to put up.
Space isn't a problem as I'll drive the Promaster van/cuckoo clock gallery. (Still wincing that I can't use my wonderful gallery on…"

"Pro Panels with their over the top hangers. The hangers hang down with holes every 2 inches and the panels can support almost anything. Pro Panels are very light and sturdy and they even sell breakdown panels at half heights that go together, but I…"
"No answers yet?A suggestion would be to build wall sections using 2x3 (not 2x4) studs and pegboard paneling with a wooden finish. make the panels slightly less than 2 feet wide and 7 feet high. Whatever the height, make sure there is enough…"
In our launch into art shows we’ve done very well with the Promaster van we turned into a mobile cuckoo clock gallery but are finding many shows won’t allow it.Our problem is that the clocks are heavy and therefore need very sturdy walls. (Thus the…
