Whether you are "old" or new to ArtFairInsiders.com you are so welcome here. Since we were forced to "update" the website earlier this year there have been lots of changes -- and -- it has brought us lots of new members. (Yes, and lots of talk about selling tents, but we are here to do so much more for you ... and not just buying tents.) We're pleased to see so many of the new members adding a photo of themselves to "My Page". How about the rest of you ... so easy to upload an image to the site. We also encourage you to add a larger background image to your page so we all can see what work you do or what is important to you.
E.g., here is mine:
We've found many people making connectons at the in-person art fairs as a result of their presence here. This is a network and we are here to learn from one another and to get help.
Best tip if you are new:
- use the search box at the top of the page to see if an artist you know is a member here to get in touch
- to check for info about an art fair you are thinking about participating in. Even if the info is old the authenticity of the review will help you make a decision
- to learn the nuts and bolts of participating in art fairs, what to do and what not to do, what to pack in your van, how to set up a tent, how to be a good neighbor
- probably the most important info you'll find is all the tips on how to "jury" --- specific details not to be missed
- also helpful information about equipment
- best of all, if you find something you'd like to know more about you can directly "message" the person who wrote that info using the system here. Of course, you can also post it directly on this site, questioning the author, then that will help all the rest of us.
What do you think is the most helpful asset of this site?
