The Art Fair Booth

For the booth, a RAIN-proof tent ( I say this because one year it rained very hard overnight, I had art pre-hung in the booth and I lost half of my inventory to water damage before the show had even begun- heartbreaking!) is the first to be set up and sometimes needs to be creatively shimmed on uneven ground and staked or weighted for potential wind. Large, unwieldy Pro-Panels to hang the art on are then set up, lighting system hung, commerce table with all supplies (you don’t want to forget any of these items or you’ll be looking for a store that sells them and this will use up your precious time) pens, receipt book, “square” device to process credit cards, business cards and holder, brochures, camera, money box, extra comfortable shoes, hat, cool neck wrap, fan, sacks, extra light bulbs, zip ties, bungee cords, director’s type tall artist’s chair to sit up high and engage with customers, rug, comfort mat to stand on all day, ‘survival’ supplies like coffee, water, energy bars, Gatorade, aspirin, sunscreen, gum, plastic to cover art stored at the back of your booth if rain comes, promo materials like biography and creative process signs to hang in booth. And your best, most artful clothes and jewelry to wear!
