Framing Tools
Next to "How can I sell my work?" one of the questions I
am most often asked is "Where can I sell my work?" Well,
an excellent venue where to sell your work is at art shows. However, doing shows
is a specific venue which requires specific equipment and approach. For several
years now I have been selling my work at the El Tovar Hotel at
Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Although I
have a specific agreement to use this space, I do have to put up the show and
take it down everyday. I also have to operate in an outdoor setting. For all
these reasons there is much to learn from my experience if you are interested
in doing art shows yourself. Read on!In art shows as in real estate, location is everything. As they
say, there are three things that matter: 1-location; 2-location; and 3-location.
Of course when doing a show other things matter — such as the work you
offer for sale, the prices you ask, and the quality of your display. But if
you do all this correctly in the wrong location it will be difficult to be successful.
