Product Description: Making a living as an artist, the brave way! Entertaining and thorough account on how to launch a career as an art festival artist. 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. 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.
Useful but repetitive "Art Festival Guide" has some helpful information and a light conversational tone. Unfortunately, the book needed a good editor. It becomes a little rambling and repetitive. Because of the dearth of information on Art Festivals I still recommend the book, but you should know that you might be skipping around to the sections that you find useful.
A Wealth of Knowledge Maria Arango's Art Festival Guide is a fantastic book! I am a jewelry artist just getting ready to sell at festivals, and money is extremely tight, but I am so glad I purchased this book. Maria really gives you straight-forward advice about all things related to street fair selling. A million things and circumstances that you wouldn't really even consider if someone who's been in the business for 10 years hadn't pointed them out to you. Thanks Maria, for writing a very informative book! Hope to see you at an art festival!
Great overview, and very informative! This was just what I needed before participating in a festival for the first time. And it will be worth reading again after I do a few.
Good for basics & those thinking about the festival circuit This book was a very easy and enjoyable read. Maria has a very conversational and humorous writing style. Even though I read it very new to the art festival process, I had done enough of my own research that I didn't learn as much as I had hoped from this book. I also found her resources a bit limited.
Overall, it is a good read for those wondering if this is the way to go to sell their art. She definitely brings up great issues to consider if this is how you want to making a living at your art.
