So I've been to three ArtBridge Thursdays events so far, and each time I learn something new that I can take away for the next time.
So I've been to three ArtBridge Thursdays events so far, and each time I learn something new that I can take away for the next time.
After the first week, I learned to always make sure to take the correct exit, and even if MapQuest says to take a different exit number, sometimes it's okay to go with your gut. Mine was right, and I didn't trust it the first week. :(
That first week, I tried and was unsuccessful with attaching my banner to my EZ-Up canopy. And I realized that I needed a container of some type for the various odds & ends of things I need at the art fair.
This is my solution, which I very much like so far:

My handy-dandy shelf thing. I love having this as a tidy place to keep all my odds & ends at the art fair in one place. |
Week two, I took the correct exit and made it to the venue at 4:00, which is the earliest we can begin setting up. Yea! :) I brought sticky-backed Velcro to use for attaching my banner, but realized I forgot the banner. :( I also had a couple new paintings and several small prints that I framed to add to the display.
And I added a business card holder just below my artist bio...

My artist biography, along with my new business card holder. :) |
For week three, I happened upon two Pier 1 matching tall director's chairs for an awesome deal. See?
These two chairs appear to be barely used, with Pier 1 price tags for $50 still on them. We scored this deal for $13 for the pair at a thrift store last weekend! :) |
I also added a "Shipping Available" and "Giclee Prints $20" sign to one of my walls in the display, as well as a sign showing the credit cards I am able to accept.
Shipping Available, and credit cards signs. It's a little hard to see here because my track lights caused a bit of glare. |
I was able to get my banner up on the canopy. What do you think?
My ArtBridge Thursday booth, Nov. 10, 2011 |
We noticed that many vendors brought Christmas lights and garland to get the holiday shopping spirit going. My daughter had suggested that idea and I had liked it, but didn't get the lights out for last night. It's on my list for improvements for next week's display. And I have plans for some Christmas/wintry sorts of paintings.
