Also I think people DO sell more at the higher end ones. If it is higher end, you are likely to sell more - if it lower end, you risk less. It is definitely worth a try for sure!! I do not have the physical mobility, strength or stamina to have it work for me. But for someone who can handle it without a great cost like that - try and see what works. I will be VERY eager to hear! Thank you so much for your great support on this! ~ Diane Hi Lynne,

Great post. I am trying my first Art and Crafts fairs this summer and I am not sure about that decision. Since I have already invested in a tent and other display items, I have to give it a go! Off to read about ON-line - you know I really value your opinion on this topic. Diane! Great post. I am trying my first Art and Crafts fairs this summer and I am not sure about that decision.

I think that is so true that sometimes abstract art has a harder time selling. Great to sell through the local drug store ... Thank you! Hi Kelly, I am delighted you are following this! (We are Facebook friends now) I think jewelry tends to sell well from what I hear from people ... so glad the high end ones are working for you! Given that I have been mainly selling prints, I have been hesitant to try them myself. I think the higher prices make a big difference. We charge in the mid-range for what we sell ... but some people sell cards for $1.50. I can't compete with that ... I think the quality of my cards are much higher, but that is part of the art market.. Thank you!! ~ Diane Hi Anne, what a great thing that local people come out to support artists through the artists association!!

I sell primarily at those arts/craft festivals and i tend to stick to the higher end shows. i also don't have much luck at the inexpensive shows you mention, often because those tend to not really be juried and quite a bit of very low cost buy/sell jewelry tends to make its way in. since i create artisan jewelry with precious metals and handbeads beads, my prices are quite a bit higher. i'd love to sell more online so i look forward to hearing your online tips. kelly p.s. found you on facebook through karen faulkner.. sending you a fb invite! :-) great tips, Diane.

Granby has an artists association that sells art. It has been running for 8 or 9 years now - local people in the town come out and support artists. The other areas that our local artists sell art at is at the annual landtrust - so a portion of the proceeds go to sell protected land in the area. We have one abstract artist who does spectacular work - not as well received as the reprsentational artists. We have another artist who sells greeting cards of her work at the local drug store, is well know, and does well. I guess it is small town stuff though. Diane – wonderful set of topics.
