What are the best things about art fairs

comraderie and income and contacts


Best show ever and why

Congregational Church in March with only 30 vendors where a woman came in and bought 37 pieces at an average price of $175.00 per piece about 10 years ago . I only did the show because I had a free weekend and got in at the last moment when I showed the jurying person the work in person at her house


Worst show ever and why

Niantic Lions art fest . I overheard the judges deciding who was going to be the $500.00 first place winner of the show and it was rigged. They wanted it to be someone from town . When the prize was awarded , many of the artists were so disgusted , they never went back to that show (approx . 14 years ago )
