What are the best things about art fairs

The people I get to meet


Best show ever and why

I'm not many shows into my career so far but I'd say Artfest Midwest. It was not only my first fine art show, but I won an emerging artist scholarship and sold 7 originals, which I had never done before. It was amazing.


Worst show ever and why

An arts and craft show in a barn in the middle of nowhere and the weather kept all customers away.


Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.

I searched Google for art fair equipment buy and sell.


What is one fun fact about yourself?

I love to create fun timelapse videos of each painting I do.
