For artists and artisans selling their work in art fairs and art shows provide an opportunity to touch and experience good sales and find new customers at low cost. However, making money at an art fair and art show is not as easy as it sounds.

This requires research, planning and ability to keep a smile on their face all day in the sun usually in a public square. And it is not for everyone. In the first place, attend exhibitions to see how these things work. Find a gallery that accepts your work. Be very realistic about the quality of your work, and talk to other artists to see where you have fairs to participate.

Know that art fairs usually charge for space rental. Have various prices and there are many great places to buy and sell art. You need to take into account travel expenses, transportation costs and the cost of a table, banner, booth itself, as well as the cost of your product.

Depending on the city or state where the fair or exposition is located, you may also need a license or permit to sell. It is always better to find out what you can invest before deciding to go.

Most artists and artisans have to search for their customers, and it sometimes takes up to a few years. During this time keep your costs to a minimum. Do not make investment until you are sure that your art has a buyer.
