For those of you asking where to buy an art tent, here is the link: th-cam.com/video/wzFbwP2_0Io/w-d-xo.html
I did the Maitland Art Festival along time ago a month after 9/11. 😔 My mom lived in the area so we stayed with her. Pretty much everyone knew we probably wouldn’t make much due to the gravity of this event. The park is so nice!
This is great! You hit all the points! Great video!
Thank you!
plastic is good, but to keep a tent good and dry I would add a few steps. 1. put the plastic on the ground down when setting up the tent. 2. Place a canvas tarp down over the plastic (yes you will lose the mulch look but your chances of mud go down to almost zero. 3. after you tape the top of the tent have another canvas tarp to put over the top and tie down in case of rain, it should be tented in the center and extend about a foot beyond the tent to direct water away from the tent
Thanks for this! Joined the group!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing

Thanks for watching!
You are doing every artist a great service. The only thing I would put a question mark to is sending personal videos of you inviting a client to come and see your new artwork. Why do I say this? Because if I recieved a personal message in video form of an artist whose work I purchased in the past, I would feel uneasy to go and see the new art work because I would feel I was letting down the artist if I didn't buy a new painting. It would make me uncomfortable so I probably would go mushroom hunting or make up a better excuse, because I know the artist needs to sell his or her work.
Yeah I’m not comfortable around camera but if they follow you on social Media maybe just do a general invitation not to a past buyer personally unless of course you know that person well. But everyone is different so what works for some may not work for others
Thank you for sharing!
I hadn't thought about doing a contest/raffle... but that's a great idea. Though at this point I have invested about 2100 into my display, I have only made about 1/4 of that back... the majority of people interested in commissions never respond when I email them...
I don't want to pester them until they commit, so I just kind of stopped pushing after reaching out twice over the following week.
Anyway, there are many factors to take into consideration too; the kind of events I am doing are free admission to the public and are one afternoon, not a weekend long event. Also, the type of art may not resonate with their style at home. It could be the prettiest thing but they might have an aesthetic going and new art may clash...a
I don't want to be a downer though, your video has a lot of great advice. For the time being I am selling originals because prints are pricey lol
Thank you again for sharing!
Thank you for watching and sharing your experience!
I would consider adding those emails that you have to a list and just sending out general emails monthly about new pieces you have created, upcoming shows etc.
This way you keep the audience warm, sometimes they don’t buy, sometimes they buy later, and you never know when they may buy your art for a friend.
Keep creating and sharing your art with the world! :)
thanks Gracias Obrigado
Aloha Lauren, thank you for sharing your set up :) badass set up and video... thank you so much ...:)
Aww thank you!! Looks Like I may need to do a few more of these videos since it seems to be a popular theme, any questions or things you'd like to see in the next video?
@@LaurenJaneInspires Aloha Lauren, you’re very welcome. 🤩👍🏽💪🏽 it would be nice to see some clips of your preparations leading up to the show. I think that such content would help us beginners see what goes into it and also visual reminders on somethings that would help us all, as far as what we need for the events that we are looking to sell our art at. Thank you again and all the best.. 🙏🏽🤓
@@shanea1314 great idea thanks! What kind of art do you make and have you done a show yet or planning on doing one?
@@LaurenJaneInspires hi Lauren, oil/ acrylic, charcoal and other.. no I haven’t done a show yet.. I’m doing my research on what I need for a store set up at a market.. 😆
What mesh you use for your walls to hang your art ? 🙏
How many medium 16x20 and small 11x14 and 8x10 paintings can hang in a average size tent ?
Hi Allen, I don't have that exact number for ya, but what I would do is use canva or even a pen and paper to map out your plan of where you're going to hang the art- it's not just about fitting in as many art pieces as you can but also making sure it's esthetically pleasing and the ones that will really get their attention are at eye level and easier to see and draw them into the tent. You will want a little breathing room in between the art too and space to hang a price tag. You could also lay out the pieces on your floor and try to plan it out that way, making sure you have enough room on the edges as you won't really want to hang them too close to the poles etc. I'm sure there is a mathematical answer to this, but hey I'm an artist not a mathematician lol. best of luck! And feel free to post photos of your plan and ask questions in my Art Biz Secrets Facebook group :)
Where did you get those sturdy mesh grid walls?

What do you use to hang the paintings
Hi Britanie, I show the hooks and have the link in one of my newer videos, but basically they are called curtain hooks or drapery hooks- they work great if you have the mesh walls.
what did you use for your walls?
