Rebecca, this show didn't require a slide of your display, but just gives you the dimensional aspects of your space. If I am accepted into this one, I am not too worried yet since it doesn't take place until October. I am planning on borrowing a soccer tent from any number of friends and putting some of my crafty guys with wood working tools to work for the display. I really like what Lon showed us in a post long ago.
Michele, wasn't it you who mentioned doing demos in your space? I know Marvin does this now and sells them as sketches. I think he says it attracts a crowd and puts extra cash in his pocket.
Regarding the use of credit cards, I may be looking at this the wrong way, but I do not sell prints - so I figured it would not really be that important for me to offer credit. I guess I still have the mindset of a portrait artist seeking commissions even though I have been trying to do more figurative work. Is this the wrong way for me to think? How trusting must we be when accepting checks at art shows? If the show has an established good reputation is it more reassuring to conduct business this way? Wow, it is sad you have to think about these things.
