🎨 The Ultimate Guide to Selling Art at Shows 🎭: Maximize Your Success at Art Fairs & Festivals 🚀🎨✨


Hello Reader,

Greetings and hello again:

In this week's post, I'm delivering what might be the most comprehensive resource I've ever created for artists who sell at shows. After two decades of helping produce and market Decor Expo shows—and watching countless artists succeed (and struggle)—I've distilled everything into one ultimate guide.

Whether you're preparing for your first farmers market booth or your fiftieth juried show, this guide covers the strategies that separate profitable exhibitors from those who barely break even. From choosing the right events to mastering the post-show follow-up that turns browsers into collectors, it's all here.

However, here's what sets this apart: I'm sharing the "recon mission" strategy I've always recommended to new exhibitors, along with the mindset shift that can make your first show valuable, even if sales disappoint. Because sometimes the greatest return isn't what you earn—it's what you learn.

Click the red button below to read the full guide. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and experiences, particularly from those of you actively participating in art shows. Your insights help shape the resources we provide to our community

Be well and take care. Peace out!
