I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and travel a couple of times a year to Preko, Croatia (where my parents live). I started painting in 2012 and focused on abstract art in the summer of 2015.

Hi, Betty! I cannot thank you enough for being so generous with this information. As a burgeoning artist embarking on a new path, having your creative, business, and personal insights, as well as your support, is exactly what is needed to keep things moving forward for someone like myself. I am so very grateful to you for taking the time to share your wisdom with those of us who need just a bit more assurance to be brave!

Hi Betty, great video. I do art shows in Southern Cal and your info is in alignment with what I do. My biggest take away from what you shared today is, using the word EMAIL rather than NEWSLETTER. That is such a good point. I tend to use the word NEWSLETTER and people seem to want to run the other way. I plan to apply your suggestion at the next show . Thanks so much!

Excellent presentation. I've done art fairs too and frankly it's a lot of work. I put out a water bowl for strollers with dogs and that really made a nice impression on people. They often stopped in to see my pieces. Another good idea is securing you tent with sand bags. When that wind kicks up your tent quickly becomes a kite. I especially liked her cargo platform to store your tent. It will be cheaper than renting from U-haul after a few shows.

@BettyFranksArt 3 жыл бұрын

Great tips! Love the doggie water bowl idea. Great way to get folks to stop and check out your artwork. And, sandbags are a must! Most shows won't let you setup without them. Totally forgot to mention that. Thanks for sharing!

This is excellent ! I have organized art walk shows and shown in them. In an earlier post, I mentioned the 'business of art'. Festivals. Art walks, ect. are all part of it and it takes a lot of time, money, effort, and planning. I agree that beginners shouldn't do these venues at first. Start with local art league shows to get your feet wet. Competitions, art walks, festivals, ect. can really burn out an artist, even seasoned professionals. If you aren't careful, you might even get so frustrated. you'll quit art all together. Find a level that fits your overall lifestyle in general. It will take years to develop it, so don't be hard on yourself unnecessarily. When all else falls.... just paint ! 😜

Betty, thank you for taking the time to make this video. I did art festivals for several years and agree with everything you said. Those were my experiences too. Of course, there really weren't any festivals last year which was very unfortunate because my sister always did the festivals with me. I wish we could have enjoyed the spring and fall shows because she passed away in November. I did not think that I would want to do festivals ever again. However, I did just sign up and pay my fee for our favorite festival in November this year. My art has changed since our last festival in the fall of 2019, so my booth display setup is going to have to change. I've been really reluctant to get started making the plans for the changes. However, your video popped up today and it gave me some motivation to get moving. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video! As a new artist, I've wondered about the nuts and bolts of doing art festivals and you very thoroughly answered all of my questions. This past summer I did exactly what you recommended: attended two local art festivals (one small and the other large), walked the entire festival, took note of the type of vendors and flow of traffic, talked with the artists and asked them about their experiences. Since all of the artists were listed online at the festival website, I was able to identify which artists worked in a similar style as me so that I could get an idea of how well my work might be received. It was really helpful and I made a few contacts with local artists. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos!

I'm so glad the information was helpful to you! There are grids you can use or build your own "propanels" using hallowed doors and cover them with carpet. Go to Pintrest to look for other options. Also, go to some art festivals in your area to see how booths are set up. Good luck to you!

Glad you liked the video, Jackie! Unfortunately, I don't have a recommendation for a tent. You can google "best tent for art festival". I think I had done something like that when I was looking for a new one.

Thank you a hundred times over! I'm just beginning to investigate how to start my art business. I thought fairs/festivals would be easier than selling online and dealing with shipping, etc. That may not be right. In your opinion, which would be an easier way to start? One word will do - no need to explain. Thank you!

@BettyFranksArt 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Mary Ann! If only I could give a one word answer! 😁 I think you should do both. In my pricing video released a few weeks ago, I talk about not putting all your eggs in one basket. When you're just getting started, selling online it hard because you're not known. You don't yet have a following. So, selling locally at art festivals is a great way to get your art in front of people to not only sell, but also to get their interest, feedback, etc. It's all valuable information. And, you can start gathering email addresses. There's my short answer!

Hi Betty! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us! I was wondering, do you bag your canvas art once it has been sold at the festivals and can you share what type of bag you use? I hope to take a class with you one day and look forward to watching more of your videos!

Hi Karron! I'd love to have you in one of my workshops! I keep bubble bags on hand: www.uline.com/BL_7602/Uline-Open-End-Bubble-Bags I buy the 36x36 and the 36x48". Unless the person is in a rush, I usually ask them to walk around a little more to give me some time to pack it up for them. I keep cardboard corners on hand, too.

Hello! Thank for sharing! This was very helpful. My question is how do you package your artwork for between traveling to and from your shows? My artwork is not flat and I need to protect and the crystals I have on my pieces. Any suggestions?

@BettyFranksArt Жыл бұрын

Hi Christal! I usually use a bubble wrap bag to insert my artwork into for travel. Unfortunately, I'm not experienced with your type of artwork. Maybe if you go to a festival and look for someone with similar art, you can ask them how they are transporting. Wishing you all the best!

Hi, I'm an artist in San Diego, California. Happy to meet another fellow artist! I had a question, do you bag your sold framed art work? I sold a 12x16 framed art piece and was not prepared. My client was very understanding but I don't want to have this issue again. My current solution is to use your method and large bags...

At 22:00 you mention "securing your tent" at the end of the day. For festivals that are two or three days, do participants leave the work inside the tents overnight? If so, what kind of "secur[ing]" can be done? Thanks! EDIT: Ahh...I see it's answered at 26:44. Thanks again!

Hi. Can you share how you trasport your art work. Do you wrap each piece, do you mark the outside, do you rewrap after the show, what do you put your pieces in once wrapped. I appreciate your time and value of experience.

@BettyFranksArt 8 ай бұрын

Hi Michele! I don't have a photo of my artwork wrapped up (and I no longer do these art festivals). However, I did wrap them in bubble bags (check Uline.com for 36x36 bubble bags--very handy for transporting and shipping to customers) and stacked them up in my car for transport. When I sold a piece of art, I used the bubble bag to wrap the canvas. For smaller pieces of art, I had other bubble wrap. I also keep a tape gun on hand + cardboard corners. I hope that helps!

Thank You Betty for this very good video. I have done art festivals and your info is spot one and I learned some new things. I have one question. Where do you get you art on paper printed.? I am always looking for good printing. Thanks.

@BettyFranksArt 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Maureen! Glad to hear that my info was spot on! Thank you! My art on paper is all original art. The only prints I had at the shows were my notecards. With abstract art, there aren't any best sellers, so I didn't want to invest in making prints. However, I offer POD from my website and I use Bay Photo: www.bayphoto.com/ They're automatically connected to my backend. I use Art Storefronts for my website.

@BettyFranksArt 8 ай бұрын

I used to use satin almost always. Then I discovered matte. Love matte! There's no glare at all. It really allows the artwork to shine! Try them all and see what you like best and what's best for your style of art. There's no right or wrong. It's personal preference.
