This is the second indoor summer Art Bazaar that is being sponsored by SAACA (Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance) and this month, they were a bit more organized. They had taken out ads in the newspapers for thursday, had up a sign, had music and had a food vendor out front. Though still very low attendance, I like to think of it as good practice as I keep redesigning my booth. This time I actually sold something, though not all artists could say the same. For Tucson this is nice to have an indoor summer fair, if only they could get the attendance. July will be worse. During July, most people leave Tucson and most restaurants close for the month. It is worth doing an event, where you barely make the booth fee in the hopes that this will turn into something bigger? What do you guys think? Merry
I was considering this part of my practice for myself. Great ideas for the interest for attendees. They were asking us for ideas. Facebook, Craigslist and these other options should be free to SAACA might go it. I'll email the organizer and suggest this to her.
I think if it doesn't cost too much, you are local, and just learning you can consider doing it. There is so much to learn. Consider it kind of like an MBA. But definitely by next year you will have your degree and won't be there. Right? Can you drum up some interest for attendees on a Facebook page, Craigslist ad or some other social media approach? Can you suggest it to SAACA?
