First show ever
Spring Crafts at Lyndhurst Castle, Tarrytown, Westchester, NY: an Artrider show
What are the best things about art fairs
talking to customers
Best show ever and why
Holiday Crafts at Morristown New Jersey). Expensive show, but big sales!
Worst show ever and why
Several terrible shows, but standouts were two Spring Crafts at Lyndhurst shows (Tarrytown, New York). Both shows featured freezing rain in torrents. I was in a booth in a huge tent that flooded. The second show was in such a storm they closed the show on the first of three days after being open only 2 hours since rain and mud were flooding the booths. Expensive disasters. Since then I did not do May shows.
Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
Another artist, can't remember who.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I originally showed only translucent glass mosaics, but have been evolving into small ceramic boxes with mosaic and ceramic embellishments since they sell much faster than the mosaics and I can cover the booth fee with the sales.
