Luckily, I seem to balance that with fair to sometimes great sales - which translates into lots of art patrons getting original collections, and starting a relationship with the artist. A number of my patrons have become friends, which is rewarding in itself.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-59849515233990740142007-04-23T06:42:00.000-07:002007-04-23T06:42:00.000-07:00Hope that you have alot of sales!

I am aware, too, of the twenty-thirty plus years of hardships and pain (and fun) endured by artists in getting these fairs to the quality venues that they are. I never want to found or run one myself, that's for sure!<BR/>Now, of course, the art expos have ripped the idea, and you see fairs where the booths feature galleries with one of each artist - perhaps 6-10 of them. Talk about a poor substitute!Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-89729747843068040232007-04-19T22:47:00.000-07:002007-04-19T22:47:00.000-07:00Casey ... that sounds like a great way to get seen...Casey ... that sounds like a great way to get seen and to sell. We don't have many like that here, more is the pity. There are the odd 'craft fairs' locally but quite frankly these are pretty dire. Although I think that North Otago and South Canterbury have the something similar to what you describe, but I haven't investigated these at all.<BR/><BR/>Hope that you have a great time and make some contacts and sales!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
