(it also helps that I could only afford this many frames!!).
It's easier on the brain to go from one image to the next without having to look up, down, all around. I don't make gigantic art, I make images that should draw one in to enjoy. I also took an old screen I've had hanging around since 1990, ripped off the faded fabric, sanded the wood, stained it, and stretched canvas on the back panels to create a storage area in my booth that can also work as part of the wall.Ī water color artist came over to my booth and said, "Oh, you went with the gallery look!"- which I guess is true. I built simple panels that would hook together to equal 10 ft per side, stained them and that was my base. Inexpensive wood can look pretty good when stained. With a limited budget, pages and pages and pages of sketches, many trials and errors, an old drill, hammer, hacksaw, and screw drivers, I built my field of dreams.
While I'm not a fan of the carpet covered panels you see at every art show, I do understand that they're easy for the artist and provide a visual cue to art fair patrons. There's a reason people buy it, though: it looks professional. It did.Įquipment for showing art is expensive.

Needless to say, I learned a LOT about display and how to manage a free-standing booth that I built by myself with crossed fingers it would stand over a weekend. I participated in my first art show with my photography, and while I'm not counting my piles of money just yet, I did learn a lot from the experience.
