Thinking of hitting the road for the art fairs? Where will you be spending the nights? The price of lodging does bite into the narrow profit margin artists try to maintain, but here is some good news. Artist, Ynon Mabat, has started a new community, Lodging4Artists.com.
Artists join as members for $12/year and place their name and location on a list. All members of the service can then contact one another about being able to stay at their homes if they do a show in that town or are just traversing the country.
This is an idea whose time has come. Like this website it requires your participation to make it successful. I encourage you to check it out and report back to me any experiences you have. Sounds tailor-made for artists planning to head to Florida this winter.
Good luck, Ynon, with this venture!
