My primary income comes from selling my work at art fairs. Rain, snow, heat or cold, if I'm scheduled for a show I'm there.

Does anyone here go to art fairs? When you do, are you planning on spending "regular" money or just "extra" money?

My citys art museum has a yearly art fair that is awesome to walk through, but everything is like $$$$!! What ever happened to the starving artist

 

[jlevernier]

We're still here! At least if my tax man is correct!

Hey Reba515,
Studio Artist by profession. I design and make sterling silver and stone jewelry. I market my work through art fairs and galleries nationally.

thats great! I love jewelry at fairs and little shops that sell local art. There are 2 great ones in my area that I shop a lot. great gifts at reasonable prices (and almost always 1 of a kind)
As a matter of fact I was in a shop yesterday and bought a blown glass vase for a x-mas gift. When I was there the girl said to me" where did you get that bracelet?" It was one of hers I had bought at a street fair many years ago ( i knew it was hers, but she had to get a closer look)

Hey - can we find the person we borrowed them from and get some more?

 

[DebPC]

They were from cluster newsletters I received from other directors back in the nineties and I wrote some.

 

[PampMomof3]

I've got a TON of past newsletters from my retired director but I would have to type them out. Who has time for that?
