The main principles: Share, help others, invite your friends
All of us welcome you and look forward to hearing from you. This site only thrives when its members participate and not only do the "old" members have a lot of information they really appreciate it when you weigh in also and share your stories, adventures, questions, answers and reviews. It's all about helping one another.
Tell your friends about AFI and invite them to join.
You are new but that doesn't mean you can't welcome the other new members. Join in with a welcoming message and see if you can make a friend. This site has grown because of the interconnectivity of its members. Make a friend here and be next to them next weekend at an art fair.
A few other ways to participate:
- share interesting stories from shows you've participated in
- tell us about products that have made your art fair life easier
- share your best advice
- bring us the news about the latest relevant info in the business
- interview an artist you admire and post it here
Still getting your feet on the ground and overwhelmed with all the available information? Check out the Get Started Guide at the top of this page.
The "deans" of the site are the people who have Red Dots on their profile photos. These folks have been around a long time and are really helpful.
Now, tell us why you joined and what AFI can do for you and what you can do for us in the comments below.
Each person who comments receives our famous Red Dot bumper sticker.
Great to have you here!
