Today I got notification that I have been accepted to my first art fair as a portrait artist. I feel pretty good about it as it was "invitation only" and I wasn't invited to begin with. I was referred by another artist who was unable to participate. They wanted only well known artists, and I'm not exactly there yet.
So, now I buy the tent, the supports, frame my paintings, find a model to pose for me during the show, and heal my body the rest of the way by August.
The art fair is in an upscale artsy shopping center in a suburb of Madison. The neighborhoods around it are very eclectic. The original area of old, gracious victorians, then a new development of craftsman style homes for the yuppies, and then the cream of the crop for all the corporate moguls. I call them "big roof" homes (the larger the roof the more important you are).
Anyway, I'm happy! Now I'll print out all the threads on art fairs and soak up all the knowledge before I blow my small wad.
