Top Tips for Success
Present a Diverse Selection: Offer a range of artworks with different price points and sizes to appeal to a wide audience. Think about how your display can cater to various tastes and budgets.
Create an Inviting Stand: Make your stand warm and welcoming. Avoid sitting behind a table and instead engage with visitors directly. A dynamic and approachable setup encourages visitors to explore your work.
Provide Added Value: Consider offering information about local delivery, picture hanging, and framing services. Being prepared to answer questions about these services can enhance the visitor experience.
Utilize Storage: Incorporate storage within your stand to keep additional artworks hidden yet accessible. This not only surprises and delights visitors but also keeps them engaged longer.
Engage with Your Audience: Build relationships by being personable and responsive. Encourage visitors to interact with you and explore your art in a comfortable and inviting setting.
Leverage Our Programming Opportunities: Our programming provides a valuable platform for you and your artists to share your stories, including how you started, what inspires you, share your artists' skills, and more. This interaction enriches the visitor experience and deepens their connection with your art and gallery. Participating in these programming opportunities allows your audience to engage with the art on a more personal level, enhancing their overall experience at the fair. When applying be sure to look out for Face of Art Runway, Art Masters competition, and Speaker Series.
