Good Things about this Art Fair:
The facilities were nice since it was a mall.

What could this Art Fair have done better?:
Advertising. There was no advertising done for this show. I often heard from customers they had no idea this was going on. There was no signage displayed and we relied solely on people stumbling upon the show.

Advice to Other Artists Considering this Show:
Don't do it. Even if you live close, don't do it. We went hours without seeing anyone stop at any of the booths. They were just going from store to restaurant, with no intent on buying art.

Additional Commentary on this Show:
This was by far the worst show I have participated in. There was no organization for load in or load out, we never saw the organizers, and the booth fee is ridiculously high compared to the traffic for the show.
