Throughout the year, it’s not uncommon for an artist to apply to several art shows. Especially if the artist is working on getting their name out there and wanting to meet more potential collectors. Each show has an application fee, which is usually nonrefundable. This is just part of the cost of making art. The exciting bit is when you hear back that your application was not only reviewed but accepted by the Jury. That means you get to pay a big fat fee to have your booth at this art fair! Yay.
Again, this is just part of the cost of being an artist. Your hopes are that you meet enough people, hand out enough contact cards and take enough emails that you’ve expanded your reach of future collectors who may enjoy having a piece of your artwork in their life. The other benefit is that someone will actually buy a piece that will help to cover the costs of your booth! (ha ha). Leave a comment below and take some guesses on how much a booth fee for this show will be.
I’m excited to say that I was accepted to one of the best art fairs in this area. I have actually volunteered for this show in the past and wondered if it’s the kind of show that I could get into one day. Well, this fall it will be one of two shows I will be in in September 2024.
I’m already working on my inventory and getting everything I need together. The shows are a lot of work and take a lot of moving parts and materials.
As the dates get closer I will announce more about the show and where I will be located. Can’t wait to see you there! 🖤
