Welcome to the Art Festival Guide Chatter!!!

Join a discussion group for those of us making a living as an artist, the brave way! Information and discussion on how to launch and sustain a career as a successful art festival artist. Companion forum for The Art Festival Guide: Guide to Selling Art in Art Festivals by Maria Arango, a book for brave artists who embark on the treacherous and most wonderful adventure of selling artful creations in art festivals and generally directly to the public.

The book, website and the forum discuss what you will need, how to choose shows, sales at the booth, marketing and promotion, setting goals for continued success, display tips, tricks of the trade, staying healthy and much more.
Read all about the book here: http://artfestivalguide.info

By establishing this forum I am hoping to increase communication and information about any and all topics related to selling in art festivals and the life of the career artist in general. Appropriate posts include anything and everything about the life of the art festival artist. How to's, helpful links, services and products for art festival artists, resources, questions, answers, opinions, things for sale (other than books about art festivals, heh), organizations, tips, shows... Keep it positive!
