When I am laying out my print display in my booth for the upcoming art fair season, I consider each Dura Plaq print’s placement carefully.

Art fairs are day-long events, on different types of surfaces. Standing all day gets tiring. A chair comes in very handy to provide that brief respite. The chair may also represent where the check-out occurs.

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.

Periodically during the art fair season, I’ll receive this question, or others very similar, from individuals considering entering art fairs.

Art fairs are held in various locations, including inside venues, city parks, farm areas, etc. Each brings their own unique advantage to the fair.

Walk around any art fair, and observe how the various artists are dressed for the event. On a typical summer day, you’ll notice the art fair attire ranges from very casual to quite dressed up.

I have found the vast majority of visitors to my booth enjoy the quality of the print, the emotional attachment and the artist direction I apply to my photography.

Periodically I will receive the question: How do you apply to art fairs? The answer is pretty simple, yet also somewhat complex.
