My own personal art fair booth has evolved over many shows and a few years. I knew the first layout wouldn’t be the last. Changes were necessary to improve the visitor’s experience.

When I visited art fairs before I entered the “circuit”, I never considered how much time it takes an artist to set up and tear down for the show.

Occasionally, I get asked how I transport my prints, bins, tent, chair and everything I take to an art fair.

That’s a very important question especially for those considering entering art fairs.

When I first considered displaying my photography in art fairs, I had no idea what a “panel” was or why I would need one.

If you are considering doing art fairs, look around at how much each artist requires in their booth. Ask them how they transport their booth, accessories and product from their car to the booth location? You may be surprised at the answers.

Booth lighting has been something I’ve wanted to do after my first indoor art fair show, but didn’t accomplish it until a few years later. I quickly found out that there is more to booth lighting than simply a light bulb in a socket.
