Been to many of the show in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area. Most of the good shows are way over my price range. $400-$600 is just to high for me. There are a few shows under $200 that are good and I try to get to them each year.
Which shows are you referring to that cost that kind of money? Most of the juried shows I know about cost less than $60 to submit up to 5 images. Are you talking about the price of the images for sale?Originally Posted by Milton Tierney
If you're talking about your framing and presentation costs, then that's a different animal. I've got a solo show coming up in July at a cafe with 20 images. The framing cost is going to put me back around $1K for that, but it's a 20 piece solo show.
Sorry, I was talking about arts and craft shows that you can rent out a 10x10 space for the day.
That's apples to oranges - If you do the craft fair thing, you rent your booth and you take your chances. Although some craft fairs are in fact juried as well...
and some craft shows say they are juried and they will let anyone in...
the only arts/crafts show i did was in 1988 .. it was supposedly "upscale"
i had probably 50 framed and unframed window matted photographs .. archival yadda yadda yadda.
the person next to me was having a garage sale ( card table with carnival-coke-bottles with pink sand, and junk from his garage )
and the photographer down the road had random 4x6 snapshots displayed in a post card rack ...
haven't done one since.
"It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary." - David Bailey
Though that quote can upset some of the 'delightful' arts bigots. . .
