Imagine the feeling of being in a gallery “Where Images Inspire”.

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.

How you engage a visitor to your art fair booth can enhance their visit. I’m not going to suggest that you will make the sale by simply saying “Hello”.

Many art fairs that I attend ask the artist if they’d contribute an item for their silent auction, held at the same time and location as the art fair.

Setting up and tearing down at art fairs can be a hectic time. During each phase, there are many trips back and forth to the car.

Perhaps the easiest way to look at any product, presentation or demonstration is not from the provider’s eye, but rather from that of the customer. If you are the person who put together an elaborate presentation, it’s easy to miss its complexity.

Have you ever visited an art fair and witnessed artists holding their tents down during high winds? Where they able to maintain their conversation with you? Was the conversation about their art, or the weather?

Setting up and taking down the canopy, panels and inventory for an art fair, I’ve learned to do so casually with a purpose. Every artist I’ve met has a system and each knows about how long their process takes.

Are you considering selling your art in art fairs? Congratulations. You may have one nagging question: “How do I get started in art fairs?”
