Getting in...and up!
Entering any outdoor arts festival, prestigious or local, is exciting. And you are entering a whole new world where your art is only 10% of the entire effort while the appearance and functionality of your booth accounts for 60% to 70% (Moore).
This self-help manual includes suggestions for improving your being accepted into the show, tips, lists of suppliers, suggestions, little extras that make your clients and yourself more comfortable, and checklists on prepping for and surviving the outdoor arts festival.
Facts about the booth/tent and its design (buying or creating what is needed); displaying, lighting, and shipping your work; publicity you should consider; signage; insurance and nighttime security; what you must know about MasterCard and Visa; a practical exercise in how to sell yourself and your art; maximizing your artwork's profitability; prepping and closing the sale; and, the after-show chores.
