First show ever
Salado Art Fair
What are the best things about art fairs
selling direct to collectors
Best show ever and why
Main Street Fort Worth. Those people BUY. ART. !! Sold two of largest original works + several others, and almost half my sales in $125 prints. Basically it was non-stop.
Worst show ever and why
Can't really recall (I'm an optimist and tend to block out negativity.) But it might have been either Rockport (TX) Art Fest when hurricane Beryl was approaching, or Septemberfest in Midland TX when the price of oil was down. Or it might have been waaay back in Dallas at some art fair which name I can't recall that was downtown in the museum district, free entry, and I was at the end of a side street. Tons of lookers that behaved as if they were out for a stroll through a museum. I had a single last minute sale that didn't quite cover expenses.
Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
Can't recall. I've been getting the emails, and thought I was a member, but did not have any saved password. So I'm signing up now. :)
What is one fun fact about yourself?
In my youth I spent 12 years in amusement parks doing 5-minute portrait sketches and caricatures, and still make a good chunk of my annual income from caricatures at festivals.
